Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

The Last Train

She was standing on the station waiting for the express train
It would be her last journey, wouldn’t see her folks again
Her head it was swimming with dark and angry thoughts
Of her husband’s betrayal and all the pain he’d brought

The signals indicated the express train would come
She jumped off the platform, her time on earth was done
Her family were torn apart and couldn’t understand why
This loving wife and mother was so desperate to die 

This tale is oh so tragic, people thought their marriage was fine
But her journey with her husband had reached the end of the line
