Hey mom,

It's not even 5 o'clock and it's already dark.
Thank God for florescent light.
I've got a bible and beer in my bag
and I'm under bright lights that produce heat.
You know, when the train is late
I can stay here and wait
for a line that is going home.

I can hear the cats
and other trains pass
but I can not really decide
when the right time
or door is going to open.
I can not really decide
if I should close the chapter on the night.

You see, every night I decide
the best to do is to go home.
But tonight is different.
I feel some comfort even though
I have come to understand that everything I know
and trust is just dust.

I still have another hour until I am home
and once I get there, I'll be glad I'm all alone

And now it is raining
It's not too cold
but I'm waiting.
Undecided if I should follow
or go my own way.

But now I'm going to her place
she decided that she has the space.
We both have to get over ourselves.
Just one more night and then it's over
we'll be thankful that we gave up on each other.
