Broken Dream    Time strides on, into a future I know not, leaving the past behind.  The mistakes I made and the choices I questioned are forgotten now, as my body marches on -- leaving my heart behind.  Not knowing what to do or where to go I reflect on past events.  The pain I feel knows no cure. I look back and see her face, a girlfriend: so close, so pretty, so much fun to be with.  With her presence gone and notes unsent, I feel the void within my life.  The void that was once filled with her love and understanding, is now suddenly open wide. I am left unwhole.  She was a star, a bright light in my life.   But her silent dreams and quiet heart fixed our problems not.   The star's partner, now since left and gone, tired of its hidden presence - for I was a star too! But alas, seen only by the heavens, and those who knew the charts.  With reflecting ceased and looking forward now, both stars do I see, how times were rough but not too bad-- for neither was alone.  Forgotten promises, unfilled dreams, and happiness no more, I stood still, hoping for a chance to fix the past,  to date again or set things right, and history not repeat,   hoping ,  for a second chance.
