At Seventeen Poem by Joanna Maria Lozano

She met him, they talk all night
He said he loves her
He asked if they can be together
She said "it's alright"

Time passed by
She fell so deeply in love
She'd given him everything
Yet she never knew the life she's in

She had lived life having him
Woke up in the morning
Go to bed in the evening
With words of love from him

But then a day came
When everything's not the same
Her tears just fell down
It hurt, yet reasons were unknown

She wept at night
Lying in bed, listening to the rain outside
Deep inside she wanted to scream
And wished that everything's just a dream

She's just seventeen
Shen never knew love until then
Love is cruel, love is painful
It ruined her world once so beautiful

She never knew she'd fallen so deep
She'd dream of him when she sleeps
Still feel the taste of his lips
And all his gentle caress

There's nothing she can do
But definitely, she already knew
That was how miserable love can be
And to love that way again, she never will be

She couldn't forget the pain
She still cries every now and then
She still have that feeling deep within
The love she had at seventeen
