Leaving At Nine

Schedule says last train leaves the station at nine If I hurry I might make it on time So many mistakes and regrets flood through my mind A new place and friends I surely will find No one here knows I'm leaving this place today I doubt if they would care very much anyway Self Pity aside, perhaps I should think once more Be strong and face what there is in store... She watched the last train leave promptly at nine.

Were you on the train? This was a good poem. But it had no end. It left me hanging on what came next. Where were you going? What did you do? Why did you leave? This poem was a photograph that makes the reader to wonder about its content. You need to tell us the why. I guess what I'm saying is give the poem some form. It's good enough to deserve that.
