After reading your poem several times I came away thinking it was a metaphor for a relationship that went bad ... that "...standing here all alone/waiting for my train in agony" alludes to the emotional baggage you might be carrying from the previous relationship that hinders you from continuing life's journey on (or with) another "train." Of course if you don't muster sufficient motivation to join with another train, well you might "rot and decay" in the railway yard (of life). I like your poem LittleGuy.
But I haven't got enough strength from my attorney
So it is now over and done
And all I have left is fever but no fun.
I was happy a long time ago
In a place I did not know
And now I can no longer glow..
I'm standing here all lonely
Waiting for my train in agony
Many trains have passed
But I couldn't get on a train because I was harassed
By something vast..
I tried to regain my happiness very hard
But I end up stuck in a railway yard
And now I can only hope and pray
So perhaps I may have a good day
Because otherwise I will rot and decay
