Subject: Failure


In the middle of the night, he stands alone.

A heart once brave, now overthrown.

The second time, he thought it’s sweet,

but the failure whispers ''You're tasting defeat''.


Was it ever true?

Did he chase a dream that never grew?

What once felt right, now feels like chains,

a reflection of joy, a garden of pains.


Is the second time around really sweet?

When the heart recalls the bitter defeat?

The weight of dreams he thought he'd own,

a heart once full, now carved from stone.
