They Walked Away

here i stand
with hopes bubbling in me
i have dreams
and fantasies.
i feel the moment has come,
the revelation,
the time for the flight,
but then...
they walked away


here i am labouring,
panting so hard,
i'm sure they can hear me
i'm sure they are impressed,
here i stand
awaiting the results,
the victory! finally at my feet
and yet,
they walked away...

there i stand
disappointed,
dejected,
head in my hands
consoling myself,
sobbing into my own palms.
Waiting for the support
i see her coming,
walking straight at me
i see a warm smile,
an understanding look.
I know i have found my support
i know now i can recover,
i know one day i'll fly again.
And yet....
