Their lovers fall

Sitting here alone
at this one stop train station
with nothing to keep my mind at bay
but the smiles on stranger's faces
and the moment when i saw your eyes
peering through that frosted window
i swear i felt this scarf
tighten around my neck
and now it seems that i don't even have
to try to keep your little mouth shut
and you know that i would do almost anything
just to hear you scream and break
this haunting silence
at the top of your lungs
but breaking the silence with you
is like pulling my teeth out
so we are spending this year's holidays alone nothing to keep us warm
but the water that burns in our guts
and we can count the doves
as one by one their lovers fall,
crashing into the ground...exploding in the air,
as the earth opens up beneath
to swallow their empty corpses.
