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.

For A Girl Things Are Explained

For a girl to explain
Things are twice as hard
Things are not nicely arranged
Things are explained again and again
Things are plainly rejected
Things are never a choice

For a girl to refrain
It's never an option
There's a ton of objection
There's always an unseen protocol
There's a lot of assertion
There's a no you can't say no notion

For a girl to maintain
There's a lot of work
There's a lot of space to cover
There is a pot of rice that is always over
There is a clot of blood that doesn't mind
spilling over
There is a straight line
There is a closed gate
There is a train that cannot come early
There is a pain that is never allowed to get ugly 

For a girl is not dumb
For a girl can succumb to alter the usual 
For a girl knows everything
But sometimes prefers not to say anything
For a girl can explain things
Better than anyone else
For a girl can be in pain
But still go on like nothing really
For a girl can try and remove the stain
Instead of blending into a
Shameless patch called surrender
