Sacrifice

One drop,

two drops...

The rain swept my face
as I lay on the cold ground,
defeated to my last breath
It was done, I lost the battle

Crowds already decided which side they will stand now
Facing me as they stand aside to the winner
I closed my eyes once, and twice
and found myself alone in the dark, abandoned

I thought I had prepared myself well
for my lost today
But it was not enough
It felt hurt, almost couldn't bare it inside me

I closed my eyes once more,
hoped that the rain would drown me

But then I laughed at myself hardly,
despite the copper flavor on my lips
This is not my match
Why should I mourn my lost when I am not?

I have lost this game
But I won in the real battle

That is the only thing I care

For I finally knew what sacrifice means now
