The best word to describe him was train
And that train hit me hard.
I’m lucky to have survived,
It’s all in the past now, but the memories still haunt me.
The lies, the empty promises
It was never something I wanted to deal with.
No one deserves to.
That pain, the feeling of emptiness,
It eats away at your very being.
You feel used, and broken,
As if you don’t deserve love
You feel like trash that shouldn’t even be acknowledged
And you blame yourself for it all.
But it wasn’t you,
It was the train.

Though, when the train hits you, it too gets hurt.
For you are also a train,
You both fall off the tracks, off the edge.
You find yourselves tumbling down and down,
It feels like forever,
But something will break the cycle... eventually.
You will learn how to smile again,
Laugh again, all the things you used to love.
You will find it all again
It just takes a while.
You will find it when you’re least expecting it
But you will rediscover happiness.
It’s hard to recover from a trainwreck
But they’re unavoidable once you’re on the wrong tracks.

Stay away from other trains,
You can hear the screeching from miles away.
Trains are attracted to one another,
And once they meet, it’s catastrophic.
You see them coming and you just can’t get away,
And neither can they.
They will see you, just not soon enough.
Don’t make the mistake of not changing tracks in time.
When that train hits, you will be destroyed,
And so will they.
The collateral damage will be so great,
Many others will get hurt.
Pieces will fly everywhere,
And so will you.
Don’t leave others to scrape you off the road.
