So Long

So Long

So long, I've been waiting,
grasping tightly to hope,
that's fading to nothing
with my power to cope.

Whilst the if, was a when,
I'd a target to hold.
When reduced to a maybe
expectation ran cold

Now it's "Probably never",
and my strength's almost done.
My heart needs a blanket,
my souls's on the run.

Today's the first day,
my defence can be seen.
A choice to place distance
before feeding that need.

Do you know what is happening?
Can you sense the retreat?
The thin end of a wedge?
I'll just call it "Defeat".
