STAR TRUE BRILLIANT

Poem Title: "The Dream That Was Not Mine" Poem I, too, once held your name in silent prayer, A whisper folded into the winds of care. I walked through nights where your shadow stayed, Believing in promises my own heart made. Yes, I loved you—soft, unseen, untold, Like a fragile story too tender to hold. In your eyes, I searched for a mirrored flame, But what I found never called my name. You were a dream, but not the one I knew, A painted sky in a different hue. I reached for stars that were never mine, Mistaking absence for a hidden sign. The roads we walked were never the same, Though I carried both hope and your name. You moved forward, untouched, unaware, While I built worlds from empty air. Now I stand where illusions fade, Where truth no longer feels betrayed. I loved you once, that much is true, But the dream I saw was never you.
