Picky just like an old school pin up,
easily a trendsetter with scope.
Registered at first glance a star.
Strutting she knows what sells,
notorious for that catchy slogan
‘I won’t ever provide an alibi.’
Cute with a mouth that’s caustic,
kerchief in her hand style attack.
Each detail devastatingly divine.
Tantalize with the tip of a secret,
yes she’s a fastidious fantasy.

If I could turn back the hands of time
and once again have ago
I’d make decisions declined
fight pain and look to grow
I could avoid this very path
with its destination unknown
but maybe the new way I draft
would be within its zone
I could with knowledge be a trendsetter
in an attempt to get far away
but on a path I’d know no better
each minute each step I take
What I know of now won’t happen
so I’d be unprepared
as I wander an unknown mapping
I guess no better faired
Could I save friendships
avoid the heartache
or experience new splits
more pain that I take
If I go back I could change the route
but maybe not events
I’d have regrets I can’t remove
imperfections I can’t prevent
No wish to turn back hands of time
to correct that what bothers
I’d rather enjoy blessings of mine
and look for new with others
If I could go back
it would be only to relive
keeping the imperfect act
I’m thankful life did give

Nostalgia sets in as I wonder
Whatever happened to you
Already a star in grade eight
So edgy, a trendsetter
Destined for great things
The big screen, the arts, the world
You could have done anything
You could have done it all
You had flair while the rest of us
Could scarcely pull off a top and a pair of jeans
Hopefully you lived your dream
Whatever it may have been
And had an amazing life
Everyone of us were behind you
You left your mark on us
And we still remember
How awesome you were
Though we lost touch
Some fifty some years ago

I am the star you dream to be
My beauty and charisma doesn't let you rest
You hold me tight in your precious hearts
Where you become my consummated reflection
I beriddle you between truth and illusion
My latest trends make you a trendsetter
My misadventures in romance
Become your morning table talk
Fashionistas thrive on my glitzy lifestyle
I am the pied piper of your starry dreams
I have no night no day in my cinematic life
A puppeteer in the hands of my star makers
No privacy to be with my loved ones
Can't delve into the joys of riotous freedom
True love remains an illusion
My heart that I open to one
Becomes the breakfast talk of the world
A mask of smiles under shades of tears
My dreams I vanquished to stardust for
The glittery gold of glamour in stardom

The clouds in the sky
Pouring droplets as we walk by
Couldn't we just comprehend guy
What is it that drives us by
Down,down,down
Drown,drown,drown
I'm fast sinking in the ocean's lawn
Couldn't help but fell to the ground
In the ocean of loves crown
Couldn't you feel my impression
Or you just see my distortion
Have a feel at my emotion
In the ocean of loves in motion
You and I walking this distant life
Just trying to understand it's dice
The great nature of this land undispice
For you,for me,for us,to pay the price
Yet it seems so far
You and me a distant bar
Couldn't we do it at par
So that we could be a little star
And be a little bit wiser
So that life could be a little bit better
Don't want to be a trendsetter
But just want a tranquil life that's greater
What is it that triggers our insanity
Could we cool it off to have a longevity
Just to be a little bit in vanity
For you,for me, for us, to see it's rarity
