Runaway Train

Our love is like a runaway train Speeding too fast and there's no one to blame We fell in love without even trying Every time we laughed, inside we were crying We wore love out before it ever started Our hearts ached whenever we were parted Searching for a way we can start again Seems like these tracks are coming to an end I can't believe this has happened to us Arguments over nothing have taken our trust Those promises we made each other, kept inside Becoming lies, no mater how hard we tried I feel like we had just been got caught speeding We'll take it slow, find out what we're needing Just grab the rails tighter to keep us on track We can make it if we have each others back Every time I think we are going too fast I want to slow down, just to make it last We have both left something so far behind I want us to go back, to go back in time

I like this one Mitch, in fact I was going there too but for some reason I went on the dark side with my entry. I just read your last five works and I enjoyed them all. I have a Grand Caravan myself. Thanks for your kind words. All the best. JT

Love perseveres is so profoundly seen in this poem. Let us not look out the rearview mirror when it comes to love but out the front winshield and do what we need to do for today to let the love survive. Thanks! Susan

Too bad you can't put that train in reverse, Mitch, but that's how love is. If you do take it slower, I think there's more chance for success. Great interpretation of the theme and best wishes for the contest. Love, Carolyn
