A Grieving Traveler

I sat in a train again Without you... I sat with pain again Without you.. I wish you were there I wish to get back your stare I wish to share some words How I wished to look out of the window the same way as yesterday.. This journey that I start again Without you... This journey that I pause more often Without you... As there is no one to put a hand on My shoulder of disdain.. As there is no one to just make a  Harmless gesture of being insane.. How I wished to sip that cup of tea with a relentless life beyond the sea waiting to be free.. *Dedicated to my mom as she shares her feeling of loneliness after my dad passed away last year. They both used to love traveling together... * picture courtesy the author while she captures this on her train ride to  Carlisle, PA.

It's Been A While

It’s been a while..
Since your smile.
Took away a breath of me.
It’s been a while..
Since your steps.
Walked away quite a mile from me.
It’s been a while..
Since I found you..
While opening the door..
Standing still..
Where eyes dare not..
Move away from me.
It’s been a while..
Since words were spoken.
Like droplets of token..
It’s been a while..
Since you fled broken…
As nights were awoken.
It’s been a while..
Sadness stopped flattering.
Sensing difficulty in altering.
It’s been a while…
I didn’t wake up aghast..
Trying to catch up the past.
It’s been a while..
That the search got futile.
Since never became the style..
Of the occurrence..
That stopped happening more than once.
