Matthew Bass
Alone In A Train Station
I fell into the concrete
when you turned your head
at a harsh inward angle,
and replied
without passion.
I imploded
into a cubist painting
when I saw your hand
move toward mine,
until you became aware
and pulled it back
into your abdomen.
In that moment I died...
but not really.
I screamed!
"I love you"
"I love you"
"I love you"
too loud
for you
to ever
hear.
...in that moment
I saw the train
leave the station
with you on it, and
I knew I did not ever
really love you.
