Shell Game

Shell Game
==========
You look behind your back
To find there is no trace
Of your existence

Years are torn into tiny segments
To help make sense
Of your dull existence
The mirror image
That tells no lies
Slips into a false paradise

Elevator see you later

Call your name
Not the name of your birth
On the Astral plane
Before you existed on earth
Deep inside you recognise
The haunting call
The spiritual breath
Before your fall

Examination
Of your worldly goods
Some brief encounter
An interlude
Cry to the Gods
Hope they hear your plea
Echoing through eternity

There's a price that you must pay
For this gift you did not earn
Barren land except for pain
A shuffled deck you can't explain
A two card trick
Within a shell game
Surrounding most of the insane
Flowing like some fine wine
Through their veins

Emotionally dead
Paranormal thread
Leads you down this mission
Filled with baited breath
An endless Labyrinth
A place that seems familiar
Yet somehow
Strangest of odd.
