Sea Glass

hundreds of shards coloured green
all collected in a glass jar

all the broken shards were taken from my heart

there went the long line of people
the downpour was stopping
i smiled for the casual
i was trying to steal the dying day

and i don't know why im so cold

you stared for the silence
the trains pulled in
i smiled for the relief of the tension

i couldn't reach you already
you were gone as the train disappeared
into the sunset

the sea glass was all collected and given by you
i didn't understand why you had to go
you never told me

you were leaving for Vienna
and you said you were protecting me from you
you were preventing me from dying

but i was still trying to steal the dying day

the coldness of your smile
the empty look on your face
something was wrong, you were already gone

the train pulled in
you slid in casually
you didn't turn to catch one last look

that was our goodbye
you never came back
