For Two

Alone on the other end
of a call that just hung up
Turning off his phone as he
reaches to fill a cup

Time again being here
reunited with burdened luck
This moment is no different
getting into the truck

Pulling onto a highway
to avoid a southbound train
Looking only at darkness as
his eyes turn to rain

Life gave him no more
reasoning to be who he knew
Just like the social cliché
ending in fate for two
