Rebecca

Saw an old friend on the train
After posting that last verse
Had to look quite carefully
Didn't recognise her at first

Slightly haunted was her look
When before it was so bright
No happily-go-lucky air today
Something didn't seem quite right

Waved a friendly hello to her
And went to sit beside
Wanted to see how she was
And what ghosts lurked deep inside

Ring missing from her finger
I commented as much
The wound is clearly very deep
Her eyes filled up and such

The weight loss, the lack of sleep
Apparent on her face
No sparkle at all to her smile
Was all so out of place

We chatted, laughed, shared old times
Hope she'll be ok
I had to go, my station called
Rebecca carried on her lonely way
