Somewhere bright star wishes
float unseen across the sky
Leftover from the past hopes
Once tightly held by you or I

Things uttered in the dark
alone in places unseen
The passion of a deep request
whispered there so silently

We in youth dared to believe
in a system of ethereal chance
where desire pulled strings
on things like money and romance

Our lives languish now
in bitter worlds fallen apart
Our stories are convoluted
pieces from tormented hearts

How silly our misconceptions
we left behind for reality's stream
If we could go back would we find
our decommissioned dreams?
