Ghost Train... by Tope

The ghost train chugs along

Passengers come and go

Regulars…Nomads…Vagrants

All of them believing

They have somewhere to go

The ghost of pain enters

Crushes my heart…

Tears it apart

Acts as though nothing happened

Never wanting to depart

The ghost of hate enters

Takes me faraway but nowhere

Taints all my emotions

Leaves nothing but confusion

The ghost of fear enters

The way becomes pitch black

Never will I pass this way again

Never will I look back

The ghost of love enters

And she sits there

Quietly

With all the other ghosts staring

Rousing them up simply by existing

Pain…hate…fear …

Leave

Whining and grumbling

For they have been here for so long

It has become their home

The ghost of strength enters

And the train picks up speed and goes further

The way seems dark and steep

But I take a deep breath and dig deep

The ghost of dreams enter

Takes me to a place near paradise

Only for me to take a trace

Of the life I want to embrace

My soul is the ghost train

My emotions the passengers

And you are the love

That changed me unknowingly

Although I know you are real

Not a ghost who will fade

Taking my train

Somewhere

Somewhere I have never been

Take my train

Fill my heart

Quench this journeyman’s thirst

To go the extra mile

Through my tank is empty

Take my train

take me home..
