A Headstone At The Corner of Whittaker And Water

There’s a headstone

At the corner

Of Whittaker and Water

Where the Amtrak

Makes a stop

You got on

We’re never-after

 

It’s our names

Carved on that stone

You’ve gone away

Now I’m alone

I should have known

I should have known

 

Stepping onto that train

Was all it took

Engraved our names

Onto a headstone

The final page turned

Closed our book

 

At the corner

Of Whittaker and Water

At the corner

Of Whittaker and Water

 

Each step

Onto that train

A letter etched

Bleeding our name

The water welling

From the rain

Channels the letters

And became

What formed the tears

Of grief and pain

At the end of me and you

At the end of me and you

And now a headstone

At the corner

Is all that we’ve amounted to

It’s all that we’ve come to

 

On a headstone

At the crossroads

Spells the end of me and you
