Dashed

My dream was there

I had it tight

It wouldn't falter

I'd get it right

But I let it slip

Through weakened hands

And what happened next

I can't understand

My wishes dashed

My hopes all fled

And all the dreams I had were dead

What happened to my iron fist

That hard resolve that must exist

Why did I trip along the way

What happened on the fateful day

My dream was there

I had it tight

But lost my edge

And lost the fight
