have you ever missed your train
and sat in silent thought
slumped up on a lonely box
in the drizzle, sharp against skin taut

have you ever wondered why
and questioned just for the hell of it
prodding and probing for an ember of the curious
in the mind of another empty soulless halfwit

have you ever strayed off that broken path
into the shadows of play
crawled across the midnight haunts  
until your shattered limbs stumbled back
into the glaring light of day

have you ever given it your all
only for it all to fall to waste
the memories a harsh **** on time
leaving that inevitable bittersweet aftertaste

have you ever spoken your mind
only to have been proven so completely wrong
that you become the cruel against the kind
fallen from the highest rung
