Hiding behind the bushes he waited,
Speeding trains blew past,
Cold winds on face, as motion lines abated,
Memories of yonder days flew fast.
"He was most friendly, my best friend", she said,
"No one expected him to do what he did.
Popular guy, always smiling, a level head,
Never thought so much grief he had hid."
Her beautiful smile, the first kiss,
Weekends with Dad, driving carts on meadows,
Friendly banters, and make up drinks, I reminisce.
Mom... you believed in me, even when I crept in shadows.
"A Straight-A student, nothing suspicious..."
"He never complained about anything", said a close one,
"Christian by heart, god-fearing and superstitious"
"If I only I knew... easy to say when alls said and done."
This pain has become unbearable, I can't take it no more.
Feeling of not wanted, A worthless loner, None to adore,
How's he deserved than me, what's he done before,
Don't deserve life, Colder I've gotten, rotten to the core.
Tears await a miraculous return,
Eyes look beyond the horizon,
Imaginary shadow walks, spiking the carers yearn.
Alas! Prayers and Love cannot maketh their lost son.
Out of the bushes, closed eyes, frozen on his tracks,
Ironical how a 'cowardly' act requires this much courage,
Opens his eyes to get a final glance, edging close to tracks,
He jumps blind, falling prey to the bloodied carriage.
