In Time..

No rules. No limits.
Come and go. Give and take.
Sometimes you win
Most of the time you lose

In the face of defeat
In the pit of scorn
Any ladder will do
Any rope a lifesaver
Again and again..
Again and again..

Drizzles and thunderstorms
Clouds and the rain
A rainbow with the sun

The games that we love to play
Deck upon deck
Every hand dealt
Marks another season gone by

Skills that are mastered
Talents fill both hands
Slip away. Slip away.
It has all slipped away.

Turn back!
Turn back!
It's calling out to you.
It's beckoning you once more
A world you knew so well
A comfort that promisingly awaits
......

Fleeting!
Meaningless!
The Flame. It consumes
Too far down the road of no return
Staggering. Keeping on track

All these games
All these foolish games
Played out in the end
It's over
Checkmate~
