Nearly There

I nearly won it once, twice

I came close

Almost winning it,

A touch away



I almost won it

How I lost, I’ll never know

But I know

I was nearly there



Out of control

Reckless senses, pretences

For them I lived

For whom I died



I was nearly there

In touch, in agony

A pity

I was nearly there once, twice
