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.

Leave it all alone

I wish 
I can be normal 
Like sitting with someone
Drinking tea
With the whole world to see


I wish
I cannot cry
and tears don't just come out
The moment someone blames 
me for doing all things right 


I wish
I can just see happy faces
without endless chases
just sitting right next door
is the girl with keys to explore


I wish
I can draw on top of what's not working
and rub the one's that pokes fun at me
fixing everything that's broken
mixing emotions to stalk the unspoken

I wish
I don't think about
life and death 
What's beyond our control 
leave them the way it is

I wish 
I stop wanting to win so much
I stop wanting to be kissed or a simple touch
I stop wanting that people hold doors wide open for me
I stop wanting a well carved future for me
leave it all alone
until my bone just melts to ashes
