Forty Minutes At A Station Poem by Rachel Adams

Forty Minutes At A Station

Rating: 5.0


Forty minutes at a station
Lasting an eternity
As I waited in anticipation
You a beautiful vision
Fulfilling our dreams of passion

Forty minutes at a station
Lasting an eternity
You arrived walking casually
Breezy and in a hurry
You stopped for me indifferently

Forty minutes at a station
Felt like an eternity
You told me the time of your departure
And an e mail to your employer
And we had limited time together

Forty minutes at a station
Felt like an eternity
I wondered why you loved me
My mind's eye was forcing me to see
My love had been blind to your falsity

Forty minutes at a station
Was never an eternity
It was short and uninspiring
You were detached and unengaging
My love for you was withering

Forty minutes at a station
A lifetime of an education

This is such a great poem! Perfectly describes how we can build something up to such epic proportions in our mind and be so completely baffled when reality gives us a kick. You closed this piece so perfectly with those last two stanzas! Adding to my favorites just for how perfectly this poem is written!
