The Eternal Game

Weaving in and out of time
Slowing down at the yield signs
Avoiding any long delays
Pretending I never lost my way
Spreading truth mixed in with lies
Ignoring questions asking 'why'

Following my compass in the storm
Revealing nothing as clouds form
Lifting the veil from weary eyes
Believing love always dies
Wondering why no one cares to hear
Aching and alone within my fear

Do I admit my guilt and shame?
Is this just life's eternal game?
Will time continue to pass me by?
Am I even a glimmer in some god's eye?

I love intensely and uncontrolled
Nothing changes as I grow old
Sadness lingers forever within
A shadow bound to my every sin
