Sleepless on a night train,
Heartbroken and tearless,
My restlessness strays outside,
At the engulfing blackness.
A lone star,
Bright and silver,
Somewhere near the dissolved horizon,
Venus, perhaps. Constant.
Sleep seeps in, finally, sensing,
As I move further away from you
In miles,
In time,
You would lay awake, forever,
With me in your eyes.
