Midnight Train

I want you away, far away
Where the sounds of pain and exhaustion cannot reach
So that I may rest easy
Without Emotion’s icy grip
Yet the emptiness astounds me
And I’ve come to miss the comfort you provide
I must say I’m impressed
The feelings I had repressed
Haunt my lonely nights,
As if I didn’t have enough to fight,
Like the bitter tears of failed apprehension
I dreamt. Of running
From your aggressive attempts of temptation
The horror that I felt at your lips,
The cruel laughter in your once warm eyes…
And that was just a dream
I freeze at the thought
Of meeting face-to-face
Of a mending conversation
Of a whimsical embrace
It’s funny; that’s all I had wanted from the chase
Who knew things could get so complex
In the blink of an eye, in a streak of light
Across a star-filled sky,
Breaking the calm like the midnight train
On a warm summer night
