November

On a cold November evening

So many years ago

You left footprints towards the train tracks

In the freshly fallen snow

 

You took one last look at the sky

Then our photos in your hand

Grasped the cross around your neck

And continued with your plan 

 

You laid down one final time

On a bed of wood and steel

The air grew even colder 

You could no longer feel

 

The track began to rumble

Your heart began to sink

It would all be over soon

You would not have to think

 

On that cold November night

The whole world turned black

You left footprints towards the train tracks

But you left no footprints back
