Brian Davey Poet Blank verse

My Ribbon of Blues

My Ribbon of Blues



Finishing in 2nd place being the only runner in this race
What a waste, what a waste...All the fears I couldn't face

It's too late...too late

To start over again, but where would I begin
Start at the end, the end...The very, very dead end

All alone again...and again

Staring at my ribbon of blue, me the pathetic you
2nd place, 2nd place...in this one man race

Losing again...I lost again
