Interview

Faded Dreams

the playground of our dreams is gone
faded innocence and laughter
I tried to find you 
to tell you
but you were no longer waiting.
We became what others wanted
prisoners of a material world.
Now our world is filled with echoed pain
We can no longer wish on stars.

Bienvenue to Poetry Soup Lisa. This poem reminds me of a highschool, first love. I'll never forget him, a curly haired, brown eyed fellow w/ long eye lashes. Your first 5 lines brought him back to my thoughts. I hope you write more soon. Your poemsI have read so far are just delightful !

We all get bit by adult reality's buffet of disappointment, but we can still choose to order off the kid's dream menu. Nice write, and welcome to the Soup!
