"One Way Train"

I strutted into the old train station, the makeshift club

My eyes dilated like the summer sun

From the “X”, the “E”, the Ecstasy

Light sticks glowing green, techno pounding, sounding like machines



Stranger’s sweet sweat sprays my skin

As he strides up with a grin

“You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen”

Obviously the chemical overwhelming his being



Never had I heard those words said to me

Nor will I ever again, that I believe



The feeling of love invaded us all

We didn’t care to come down

We couldn’t handle the fall



Mingling, dancing, grinding, kissing

Inhibitions fading, awkwardness waning then missing



A utopian dream for an 8 hour stay

A mere $20 to get me this way



Sucking on a lollipop ring

As orgasms surged through my brain



Hey Jesus is that you with the menthol vapor rubbed under your crystal blue eyes?

Is this heaven in disguise?



An old train station in the cool of the night

Yet we are hot like the flames of hell burning bright



Why tease us God?

Why make me feel beautiful, then take it away?



Alone, sad, depressed, and damaged is the price I’ll pay



But for tonight, one may say it’s worth the plight



To hear you’re the most beautiful…

I’ll suffer the crash anyway



Now techno makes my stomach ache

She’s no longer me, she died they say,

And took a long ride on a one way train.
