I sit beneath the red light of a dying day
Waiting for the next train to take me away
from the tears shed in this town
The gentle sound of water
Soothing my broken heart
He said he loved me while loving another
I cannot be an extra string to his bow
One more notch on his bed post
I need to be someone’s one and only…

    A sad poem, but some strength and self-respect in there too.

      Definitely! I thought it was loud in affirming what the person’s needs were. Great piece, Anita. :)
