I saw a light in your eyes
and heard a song in your laughter
For some reason I
thought you held what I was after

I drove the train
straight toward the cliff
My mind ignored
the obvious if

For one bright moment
You smiled and tossed your hair
I fell into your happiness
and then you left me there

The rails on fire
squealed hot
as I barely held them
in time to stop

engine broken
Steam dissipated
end of the line
Should have anticipated
