Painful Scar

By just one count, an awful miss Just like a drifted flying kiss A million dollar prize in draw A one count miss like tragic flaw A lifetime spent for that one chance To have a taste of its sweet glance But playful hand of destiny Brought painful scar in memory Like one point miss in crucial game That forever tainted one's name A dream fell short by just one mark That lost the glimmer of its spark

Too often, we compound the events P B, Do we try too hard, to break the cycle.? So oft I muse, how to combat abuse.?

intriging and well expressed, hinting at life and glory, death and failure as being separated by the mere and sometimes imperceptable angles of circumstance

Thank you very much... But still one needs to try hard despite painful failures...
