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.

If I Ever

If I ever forget you..
Remind me of the smile I used to stare.
For long hours..
While the short lived encounters seemed unfair.
If I ever forget you..
Remind me of the nights.
You held me staying quiet..
Until I cuddled and slept …
Till the first day light.
If I ever forget you..
Remind me of the nightmare..
I kept narrating ..
While you were all ears..
Even though your days weren’t all icing to untouched cake layers.
If I ever forget you..
Remind me of the insanely rain..
Where you drove through the rampage.
To self control the damage.
Gobbling up your inner rage.
If I ever forget you..
Remind me why you had to go.
While I was still looking out for you..
Everyday since you left.
Because the repulsive me..
Just doesn’t resent..
Whatever you meant..
As it refuses to forget..
Like a blatant regret.
