Lyric

Platform empty

Only footsteps

Faded ticket

Crushed inside palm

Last train from yesterday

Rattles through my chest

You were standing by the window

Eyes saying every farewell

I reached for your reflection

Glass turned my touch away

Last train from yesterday

Took words I never dared tell

Coffee cooling

Seat beside me

Rain streaks window

Blurred town drifting

Last train from yesterday

Carried your stolen sweater

Breath on frozen metal handle

Lingering like late December

I mouthed a trembling promise

Cabin lights refused to wait

Last train from yesterday

Rolled on

Rewriting our forever

Empty doorway

Keys on table

Answer echo

Walls stay quiet

Last train from yesterday

Plays through every silence

Shadow where your laughter rested

Haunts these folded blankets

I trace your old handwriting

Ink across my shaking fingernail

Last train from yesterday

Turns stubborn hearts to fragments

Phone screen glowing

Name long vanished

Voice recording

Saved then deleted

Streetlamp flicker above park bench

Cold air cutting down tired lungs

I whisper into woven scarf

“Come back” dissolves among exhaust

Memory rewinds worn December

Snowflakes landing over lashes

Mouth keeps forming fading letters

Heart keeps waiting under ashes

Last train from yesterday

Roars through every moment

You

Forever in that doorway

Suitcase twisted

Shoulders trembling

I never said “please stay here”

Fear slammed every tender gate

Last train from yesterday

Leaves me chasing ghosts I cannot chase
