Current mood: apathetic
Current music:adam green?

it doesn't matter
if i could paint a picture
it would be of a train's whistle.
you wouldn't be able to see
but a girl is boarding the train
i suppose her name is emily.
outside of the train
lonely richard watches her depart
at the last second he hops aboard
the last car of the train
because it's one of those
old fashioned locomotives
and this is all happening
in the 1930's.
probably near chicago.
richard did not love emily
richard loved adventure.
emily never knew richard boarded the train
and she started a new life
probably in milwaukee.
richard kept going on that train
he sent a few letters off
to a girl he never kissed
and probably wanted to.
i suppose her name was margaret.
but I would only paint
the whistle of that train,
so it really wouldn't matter
what her name was.
