Trainway B


A lost cause

“The one that got away”

 

Unattainable

I’m the red light and you’re the cat

 

We’ll never survive the drought

The distance is just too far

 

I’d pick her too

Elphaba

 

My devastating smile, knocked you to your knees

But you are no grown man.

 

This is childs play

She knew the story

 

Not to worry

You always come back

 

Crawling like a lynx spider to its prey

The lynx spiders deserve each other
