Julie was sitting alone on the final train<\/p>\n
She was dishevelled and her face was wet<\/p>\n
With the tear stains of a long evening<\/p>\n
Her lover had returned to his wife<\/p>\n
It was a fling and nothing else<\/p>\n
Everything is born to die he said<\/p>\n
As he left their hotel room for good<\/p>\n
Out of the corner of her eye<\/p>\n
She saw a sailor looking up her skirt<\/p>\n
But she did not alter her posture<\/p>\n
Have me if you like what you see<\/p>\n
My pants are stained as I am second hand<\/p>\n
The sailor left the train at the next station<\/p>\n
Julie was alone again but she was not alarmed<\/p>\n
As she felt comfortable within her grief<\/p>\n
She thought of her lonely bed in High Westport<\/p>\n
Which was only fifteen minutes and a shower away<\/p>\n
That will be my sanctuary until my sadness passes<\/p>\n
Nobody will find me there as I am quite invisible<\/p>\n
She said quietly to herself as she studied a stain on her favourite skirt<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
