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
