Buses and Broken Stars

You come like buses, too sudden, too loud,

Filling the space I tried to keep;

Your words get lost in the crowd,

Gone before I can hold onto them.


But the trains I wait for never slow,

Like broken stars slipping past my hands;

Moments that feel close suddenly turn fragile,

Clear for a second, then blur, then fade.


So I stand where arrivals and endings collide,

Counting the chances I let drift away;

Some stay too long, some rush right by...

Almost mine, but never meant to stay.

This is about missed love or friendship. You either attract the wrong people or miss the right ones.
