Standing on the edge of everything,
Marvelling at the castle of dreams,
That's been built in the air,
Over the years,
Of yearning aspiration.
Only to have it come crashing,
Down back to reality.
The devastating loss of the dream,
Is not as hard to bear,
As the truth of the reality,
That now stands in its place.
