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..
