Love Poem: The Journey Never Stopped

The Journey Never Stopped

Walking on the graveyard of defeated souls
With an unforgiving limp of a broken heart
There was no light or warmth, only the cold
Was this to be my home, nothing left of my own.

Just an empty vessel drifting in blank space
No longer on a predestined journey of glory
Now just a part of the barren scenery
Like a calcified statue that once lived

Seasons passed, their temperatures never felt
Numb to all, the saddest was not feeling the cold
With a deathly stare pretending to still care
The search went on for what wasn't even there

Softly, a familiar flame flickered on the horizon
In short bursts calling out the forgotten name
Luring the cursed away from all the blame
Giving the strength to step onto the stage

In their final act, the demons of the past wailed
Before loving again, their sacrifice had to be made
Whoever said it comes once never paid the price
To be reborn again, undress the darkness we wear

The gates of dreams opened and the shivers returned
What once demons turned into their playground
Now became a garden of flowers beaming with colors
In her honor, reflecting all the joy her eyes shone
