Bitter Disappointment, Regret
Tears of bitter disappointment,
Tears of regret.
They roll down my cheeks, as I face
the season�s end.
So sudden,
it�s over.  No time to think,
except now.  Now that my sport is done.
Forever.
I pause to cry, as I write;
this doesn�t come easily.
Four years of pain,
Four years of joy,
all gone, in an instant.
Tears of bitter disappointment,
Tears of regret.
Four years ago, I found
my love:
Running.
Running, but more specifically,
Cross country.
The time I took, for four seasons,
the pain of workouts, weightlifting, injuries,
all gone, in an instant.
Tears of bitter disappointment,
Tears of regret
dim my vision now.
For four years,
we have worked and strove towards a common goal:
the State Meet.
This year, we were
great.
Winning our conference, we were almost
certain
that we would go On To State.
But we didn�t.
Tears of bitter disappointment,
Tears of regret.
Finally fading away.
The realization:
The season is over.
My
last season
is over.
All gone.  In an instant.
