The last ride



Their best words were unspoken
Just a thank you for the ride
Finally the end was coming

Newspapers ruffled between them
As train whistles and bells broke the silence

It was the last journey
Glances and chances were gone
Only my pen can speak now

Never become what you are not
Let yourself esteem rundown down the
Tracks rusted rail

Eyes will close now
Minds will shut
Arch your chair back in time

Miles of memories leap
Over ties of creosote
Goodbye at 100 miles per hour

Sleep softly now on broken dreams
As the ride brings no mercy
