No one wins

She had but one test,
she had to take,
to win the trust,
to win the love.

A test
so easy to pass,

a test
so easy to fail.

To hang in there,
did she have
what it took
to hang in there?

That was all it was,
to hang in there,
and not rush,
what would come.

This love and trust,
coming in there own time,
given that time.

But the time wasn't given,
and the pressure was on,

and it took it's toll,
and the house of card,
fell in all around,

and no one wins.
