A lonely traveler

An oath we took

to walk together till we croak

through the dusty and shadowy byway

leaving behind all the fears,

adventure the whirlwind

and hurricanes of life.

We were determined,

we walked a mile or two

till you find it dreary,

arid as the dust on the road.

You decided to walk with a new ally,

I was left alone

in the darkness

but you didn't turn around.

I wasn't envious.

I just wonder where i went wrong,

I was loyal throughout the peregrination.

Now i'm a lonely traveler

who wander about forsaken places,

leaving behind all the fears,

adventure the whirlwind

and hurricanes of life

but with a void you engendered.
