Train Tracks

hapadalecki

It’s been 6 years since you’ve passed, and yet, I still think about you daily.

I travel a lot for work now, and I’m in your town quite often.

I keep looking for the place your barn was, but it’s never there.

I look for your house.

I look for your grave.

But, today I found something I didn’t want to.

The train tracks.

Where we almost lost you.

I drove over them today and I felt you.

I heard your voice telling me how you almost jumped, but you didn’t.

I always feel you when I’m there.

I feel you, and I know you’re at peace.

It’s been 6 years, and i don’t think I’ll ever forget you, or those tracks.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This is a poem about my friend who I lost to suicide 6 years ago. To anyone who’s lost someone that way, I’m so sorry. To anyone who feels that way, keep fighting, life is worth it.

    A very poignant poem, filled with sadness and hope. A tale of loss, and the despair it brings. Enjoyed the read. - Phil A.
