Standing on a platform,watching you going away from me have been pricking me with every passing moment.You were waving your hand and the train was moving but my heart was palpating more than the train.I waved my hand till I could see you .I couldn't hold tear in my eyes for so long and it went through its way rolling down from my cheeks though I tried not to cry in front of you as I wanted you to go with a smile and not with tears in eyes.The flashback roll of moment we have shared together were flapping in my mind.
Then I felt a warm touch of hand on my shoulder,the touch was familiar to me since birth,that was my mom indeed.she hugged me to make assure that she is with me.
Then I looked down onto the lonesome track which questioned me the reason for my pain.The unspoken words from the track told me that you are lucky enough but nobody felt my pain.I have been crushed by the train several times.Still waiting to be crushed again.But this time I want to be crushed for you;I am waiting for the train which will bring happiness on your dull face with sobbing eyes.Those track were so inspiring and I felt small in front of those tracks.[ lesson:You can take inspiration from anything and just need a vision and sensitive heart]

Finally left the platform with a smile that came through the track's inspirational unspoken words and warmth of my mother's support.
Tracks O inspiring tracks
The train now I can’t track
It left me crying
It let me dying
You are the evidence of my pain
I am too much strained
But you are so calm
Still holding tears on my palm
I will come again with hope,
There is some connecting rope
which will call me again.
To relieve all my pain.
Days passed and passed one by one and the day for which I had been waiting finally arrived.I reached the railway station again but with a smile and looked at those tracks again but this time with a smile and conveyed unspoken thanks to those inspirational tracks.

I loved your clever utilization of everything that a few words could signify.
Right now I feel a little shaken up, because this resonates so close to reality that it's hard to imagine a lonely soul having to go through life and its listless travails. Even the droplets on your background seem to be driving me delirious. Need I say more?
@Ritesh and Amity-thanks for believing me.
I once read someplace the following lines which in essence captured for me the pathos and intensity of your post,
"Paanch foot chhey inch dur
Shaayd zindagi ka safar"
(5 feet 6 inches is the distance between the rail tracks)
So near and yet so far. And yet, the journey continues !
