Game

"Keep it." A key?
"Some key in looks."
A key for what?

"Will you not take it, gift
I give and leave with you."
But, what does it open?

"A secret in truth and a game."
Game, you say? Then tell me the rules.
Games are no fun if you don't know.

"The rules are simple, keep
it as long as you can.
From this life to the next."

To lose? "Nothing."
Nothing at all?
"Well, then you chase."
