Eternity

I found a reason not to try
And a way to say goodbye
I overcame the impossible
And found a way to fly

I drank from the fountain of youth
And ran away, just too aloof
Then the gentle light from the crescent moon
Showed them all the proof

This façade just couldn’t last
It came, and then it passed
The die was cast and the stars were aligned
Then the people stood there, so aghast

I fooled you all, so gullible
All the secrets told, so manageable
You love me for the lie, hate me for the truth
But this time it’s all too unforeseeable

The impact of what I had done
Sent shock waves to kingdom come
Now the earth is splitting down the middle
Which has made the mood so glum

They looked to me for guidance
Hoping I could stop this subsidence
But I ran to the underground
Denying their unflinching credence

I couldn’t accept the responsibility
I was just too afraid to face reality
Now I must live with it, haunting my thoughts
For the rest of this damned eternity
