Cheated

My thoughts exhaust me,
Like hoboes on a freight train.
No right to be here,
But here just the same.
My only choice
To cheat my way out of my fare.
To him, a loss;
But he doesn't know
That the price has already been exacted
In hearts and bones.

Love the way you balance the journey of lost love with a train ride. Wonderful imagery and put together so nicely. Thank you for sharing this with us here at OP and think I spot another talented poet in the house *Bravo* keep writing you do it very well

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
