Lost Potential
full of potential
like a timely three act play
the quintessential
long ago and far away
they would find no brighter day
locked close together
as if time could not move them
not knowing whether
they'd handle what was to come
their moorings became undone
hints of rejection
hiding in common place words
like introspection
repeating that's for the birds
little chance for afterwards
no use debating
their future left on that plane
evaporating
like new fallen summer rain
what once was won't be again
