Shattered Pieces Poem by Alexander Foald

Cold blow in a summer night like this
Whispers on the hallway gather around my ears
A lone train whistling on the old rusty railroad
Taking me to a place where stars would never fall

Carrying a case of packed up things, I leave with no regret
Sometimes I look back a moment, and then keep going ahead
Sitting alone in my car, I watch as it slowly moves through the window
The hardest part of all this is that I don’t have anyone to see me go

For she’s already left when I wanted to make up
Along with promises and shattered pieces of my heart
Just right before the season turns its tail around
I realized how easy it is to cry when you’re on your own

In a tedious journey like this, looking for a reason to justify
Everything I have done until then has never made me satisfied
As the train drifts into solitude, I see the shy moon from behind the clouds
Along with a broken-hearted feeling, I then fall asleep in her sweet lullaby
