defeat

She does not deserve it
She knows she doesn't
So she's going to leave it right there
She saw it with her own eyes
The value she could surmise
But perhaps she was only too aware

So she closes the door
To the gates of hope and explore
And dresses in armor for war
She recognizes this path
Between peace and wrath
And prepares for the final score

Extinct too soon
Some moments were true
And others hung upon a balance beam
But she would live in the real
Block arrows of how she should feel
And accept the defeat of a dream
