beneath forgotten stars


Beneath Forgotten Stars



In wakeful hours, I drink my thoughts,
 Letting mind and heart entwine in fraught 
Reflections of forgotten dreams,
And roads that vanished with the streams.

Regrets envelop me like a warm blanket, 
Comforting yet suffocating,
 a heavy burden to bear.
Memories of what could have been, 
Haunt me still, like whispers in the wind.

What if I hadn’t let go of those dreams?
What if I dared to traverse the narrow seams?
Would the outcome be different today?
Or would the path have led astray?

The weight of what-ifs presses down, 
A relentless tide that ebbs and flows.
In the stillness of the night,
I confront the ghost of choices past
