Default Girl

I’ll listen to the train horns in the
Distance as I think about you leaving me.
How close they sound but you never see
Them. At night when I rest my eyes and
Listen to my neighbors alleviate their
Stress through dance, I hear the trains
Cry from a distance. I imagine that I am
Standing there on my own just
Watching them go by, like the girl out of
Some old fashioned chick-flick. And it
Groans, as if another train is in front of
It, and it screams because it wants to be
Heard. And at night, when I close my
Eyes I think of the time we spent
Together, the short-lived passion we had
When held in each other’s arms. And I
Think of whether or not you’ve lied to
Me, whether or not you tried to love
Me, and the theatrical ‘pain’ you carried
In your eyes. And the train cries in the
Distance, when you could never even

Stay the night.
