May seem as if it should have been a quarry

You lied to me. You said the hurt would ease with time. But it doesn't.

It's like a great empty pit that I keep trying to fill up, yet just keeps growing deeper.

Railwaying

The train is coming, I’m here, it’s slowing. I want to board the train. 

I will go...but not right now.

I have made up my mind and now it has sounded its horn and is away...

Just like my dream of returning to you.

My name.

My name means the very thing you have been searching for your whole life.

And I shall remain but an empty house until your search is over.

Forever

I asked the stationmaster for a ticket to Forever. I told him my soul mate is waiting for me there. Solemnly he turned and said, "Miss I am afraid you are too late, the last train has just departed."

...forever

Message from a stranger

Tired of being empty, the music box is calling so,

I'll stay, but...

Forever a stranger.

14 January 1986

On my birthday this year I wished to make the pilgrimage home. I didn't know where my home was anymore or even if I ever did know. I found myself at this place, I had been there before, and I remembered something. At that moment when I looked to the scaffolding so high and the stairs that led only to the endless sky... I knew my heart was home.

Would you let me?

If you knew I still loved you, w y l m?

If you knew I still called your name 100 times a day, w y l m?

If you knew I still I wept the saddest tear at the deepest thought of you, w y l m?

If you knew I was dying because you were never coming back, would you let me?
