Palace of Tears

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 In the fanfare seasons we get spoiled
delight screams in legions.
A mercy break from desperate
our default formation for eons.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Not a piss pot, pan, or trophy
or league won in years.
Resignation lingers
behind red eyes and blue tears.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Equine false nine strikers
draw wicked lines for laughter.
This we know is who we are
our allegiance a running reminder.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Like asking an ocean to dismiss
rivers in love with life.
If we can’t laugh with misfires
the stars should ignore the night.

Notes

One about the Palace, but hopefully recognisable to anyone supporting pretty much any team any where, especially those who never win anything!
