Last Train
Autumn rain at the midnight hour,
I wait for you,
Ghosts of the past pleading for me to leave,
But I am shackled by the thought of you,
The world begrudges,
The last train awaits,
I wait,
But the chains of the people have become too heavy for you,
So a visit from sacrifice,
That gifted you fear,
Has caused you to forget my name,
I journey towards my fate,
Alone and nameless,
My heart betrayed.
