Oblivion's Train

(James)

bid farewell to this town but

search for closure brought me back again

i thought you would wait

was love a joke to you?

"how could you move on?", i asks myself

my sighs louder than the wolves howl at night

seventeen is just a age, i regrets my mistakes

you were my essence, soundtrack to my life

now i see you dancing with him at the ball

the lament in me for our lost love never faded

i always believed you would come back to me

 

(Betty)

the train didn't stopped and reached oblivion

your ambivalent decision led to our demise

throwing back words at me

saying there were no signs

while i carried the weight

and you had your perfect summer love

an absentee, a cicada your whole life,

now at thirty, you ask me

"how could you? how could you move on?"

i gave you chances after chances

while i was dying from the inside

the pain your betrayal brought me

memories still haunts me at night

i tried talking to darkness

but she felt bored hearing

my missing and crying

after you absquatulated me

About- This poem is part of my poetry collection titled, "Folklore: The Folk Tales of Summer", which is written based on the stories sang by Taylor Swift in her 8th studio album folklore. This poem is based on the song "exile" and is a conversation between Betty and James after they meet each other, years later they broke up  when they were teenagers.
