I spotted you sitting,
A smile on your face,
Gazing at the sky
In a world of your own.
I wondered then how you were,
What you were thinking.
What was making you smile,
A smile that stole my heart.
The breeze blew your hair,
A strawberry curtain concealing your face
For just a few seconds,
Then that smile again.
And then your phone rang,
And your smile quickly faded,
Replaced by a sadness
That tore up my heart.
You listened in silence,
Then hung up the phone.
Your head in your hands,
My ears heard your sobs.
I wanted to hold you,
To swallow your pain,
But I knew it was futile,
I was no use at all.
As that train hit me,
I pictured your face
As I saw it just now,
Adorned with a smile.
But now you have heard,
How I met my end;
And all I will see
Is your heartache and pain.
