The here and the now

Phone rings
You know the news
What you hear
Still brings the blues

Hopes are dashed
Though you knew the result
No one to blame
It's all your fault

What was missing
From the pitch
Hard to identify
Anything which

Could have improved the delivery
Made more of this opportunity
Turned their heads a little more
Sparking their interest should be no chore

Back to square one
Pick yourself up
Don't be grumpy
No time for gruff

Something else
Lies in waiting
Pity here and now
Is so frustrating
