You dreamed of seeing me up there,
Alas, I never made it;
I moved beyond, to other things,
And your hopes slowly faded

Where is the life she’s meant to know?
She cannot say why it is so,
But she is lost inside her thoughts;
Her spirit tangled up in knots.

At eighteen, only family or friend;
At twenty-three, just one to love and hold her,
At thirty-eight, she’d settle for
Pretend
