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.

A Lie

Darker it gets
As faster..
The fear.
While tripping on
The mud..
Slimy road
A deeper wound..
Bruising pain
With thoughts insane..
Desperate fetch
Tip toeing..

Over the edge
Holding onto..
An entangled web.


Shadows quiver
When fingers judge..
Still looking.
Through watery eyes..
Wondering why.
It was all a lie..
