Years go by
Life runs out
You think you know
But it remains ever elusive
Nothing more than an illusion
Every episode of your life
Still it shocks you
Every single time
People and places
Ephemeral nuisances
Events and time
Scathing torches
Play the blame game
But the finger points at you
A whirlpool of self-loathing
An attack of hollow truth
Die to be right once
Beg to be heard
Lulled by deception
Stifled by guilt
Facing the mirror
Seeking the light
But the mirror’s clouded
And the light’s long gone
Years go by
Life runs out
You think you know
But it remains ever elusive
