sad and lost in thought
she sits across from her sister, a princess.
the obsession of every man's desire.
a reflection of herself she wishes
but deep down she knows the truth.
five women share the tiny train compartment
yet she still feels alone.
a days worth of shopping sits besides them
however, none of which are hers.
jokes are made, laughter too
she joins in if only for a minute.
she looks out the window
gazing at the landscape covered in the first snow.
this is where her dreams, her fantasies
become a reality.
there she remains,
eyes and thoughts fixated as the train continues on.
