The Call

The Call
I'm the one who brought us here,
After all this time.
Just to see what we could see,
Just to say we tried.
By the time I realized
What might take the fall,
They came today to claim their prize,
And I'm the one who made the call.

Across the empty table sat,
The keepers of my work.
And I just could not take a breath,
Or even say a word.
By the time I realized
What might take the fall,
They came today to claim their prize,
And I'm the one who made the call.
