Journey Poem by Rizza F. Awayan

Hearing it for the nth time once more
Pinched my fragile heart down to the very core
Could I still stand the excruciating pain at my door
For I don’t have enough strength that I could bore

You should never have utter those sacred words instead
For they mean nothing, seemed expensive to be paid
Empty, hollow and shallow promises you’ve made
Unrealisitic, insensitive, you left me dead

Still I wish you good luck to your new journey
To your happiness, may you have it truly
For I will traverse my path albeit lonely
That’s life, I need to accept it heartily
