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.

No You Will Not Cry

No you will not cry..
You fool.
Don’t try to be wet and miserable..
Instead play this cool.
No you will not cry..
Or break open every word you heard..
As a memorable token.
And besides no one is sitting thinking about you..
No you won’t be missed in the very few ..
No you won’t have known this before or would have any clue.
No you will not cry..
So don’t you even try..
If this doesn’t hold true then stop asking why.
It’s the more you ask..
The more you hate the mask.
Which was worn or adapted..
While you kept being the same..
Someone just retracted..
So don’t you cry..
Give it not more than a thought or two.
Don’t defy stop figuring out woe..
No you will not cry..
And if that makes you happy..
Let it be a self inflicted lie.
So not a sigh..
Or a drop of smear.
Tougher as it gets..
It eases when kept near..
And you won’t find out until..
One day it disappears.
