Once a shining star
for which you headed…
now a dim reminder
of what you have not.
Looking back, you weep.
Time was contradictive –
agonizingly slow – yet
the years sped by.
A hope for a once
naive child, gone –
swallowed by adult
disappointments.
It’s no wonder you’ve
forgotten how to smile –
You’re the Keeper of
Lost Dreams.

This, and “Lost in the Dark” refer to the same person – and the understanding of ‘her’ was given to me in the same evening.
