You still have hope!?

Are you on dope?

I know, its just a way to cope.

A pretense.

Just self defence.

Now it makes sense.

You’ve failed.

The boat you should have boarded, has long since sailed.

You wake up thinking about what could have been.

Your fists clench, your want to rip out something.

You could have done this, you could have done this,

You could have done this, you could have done this.

Then there would have been bliss.

A kiss.

Of success, which gave you the miss.

Still you have hope?

A way to cope.

A pretense.

Just self defence.
