Once Upon A Journey Poem by Joanna Maria Lozano

Once there was an innocent soul
Scarred and weak, about to fall
Been alone and lost in the world
Been travelling in a long rocky road

Once there was a bored soul
Strong, charming and playful
Been mindlessly wandering around
A lonely and lost one he'd found

These two souls travelled together
Once bored, now filled with laughter
Once lost, now found direction
Once weak, now got protection

Yet the journey didn't last long
They reached the crossroads too soon
Each had chosen a path to go on
Both only had memories to reckon

To their separate ways, they moved on
Lived different worlds on their own
Yet from those memories, love has grown
Never thought those were seeds all along

Now a thousand miles apart
Love grew in each other's heart
Missing, longing every single day
But they chose to ignore it in any way

Even with love blocking their track
No one dared to go back
For to their paths they should go
'Coz there lies the future they must pursue

Tears fell day by day
Watching their love die away
Though hearts were broken and crumpled
Still their lives went on as it should

Over the years, poems have been written
Full of words left unspoken
Been a long time yet one is still in pain
For deep inside, that love remains
