The Fall

A million people fall silent, there's a hush in the ground, 
As the opponents march to victory, there's despair all around.  
Titan's brought down to their knees, despite their earlier winning streak,
That in the crucial moment we will crumble, looks like an accident freak. 

You ask why we are not applauding, when the others won fair and square,
When all around people are mourning- to suggest we clap- how you dare!
A billion hearts are broken, we are grieving what we thought was ours,
I know the pain will be dulled, as the days pass, if not the hours.

Only a few will be angry, most disappointed and hurt, 
We didn't win when the stakes were high- are we chokers, I blurt. 
We gave our best- the moral support- I'm sure they gave their all,
Whether to dream again, and risk getting hurt, is our collective call. 
 
We live in an unfortunate world, where winning is the be all and end all, 
If we only carry on shoulders when they win, who will catch when they fall.
