Yes, we lost.
We wish we had not.
Yes, it’s a big blow.
We had never expected it to be so.
Still, I say,
We have fallen, not failed.
Yes, it doesn’t seem right.
Maybe, we should’ve given a better fight.
Yes, we see all those staring eyes,
Those people thinking we were all lies.
Still, I say,
We have fallen, not failed.
Yes, it hurts more than we thought.
For it we had almost got.
Yes, it closes another door,
So tight, to open no more.
Still, I dare say,
We have fallen, not failed.
