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.

Without You

No I won’t go..
Not without you.
The thunder roars..
Just to scare you.
Fallen trees smear..
The pathway.
No I won’t go..
Not without you.
Give me your hand..
Pull me by your side.
Don’t just lie there..
That ain’t fair.
As the raven crows..
Staring back at you.
No I won’t go..
Not without you.
Kiss me right on my forehead.
Lie to me as your eyes fade away.
Look at me as you ignore..
Get up now I can hear you snore.
No I won’t go..
And this isn’t you.
Cause you always..
Listen when the sun goes down.
While here I am sitting alone wearing your favorite gown.

* Dedicated to those who have learned to get a grip on themselves while they abruptly lost their loved ones.
