The final train 

Oh those long lonely tracks
leading off into the distance
mile upon mile they carry on
showing stubborn existence

Steaming off to foreign parts
leaving with me so full of pain
heart so numb now you`re not here
smoke trails are all that remain

One moment you were here
the next you were miles away
just your essence left for me
all I wanted was for you to stay

I miss your smile and laughter
the cheeky way looked at me
my heart is smitten for you
I just want you back safely


Trains were the main way to travel, and leaving your loved ones behind was hard......
