Sorrow of Mankind

Broken angels with broken wings
impaled backwards on skyward spears
(my heart beats broken)
shattered swords in shattered hands
their armor ruining, bleeding rust

the mirror reflects shattered
I look to my mirror; jaded glass
down cast grins, upturned frowns
sorrow, sorrow, sorrow drowns

"forever" a whispered hope of love
"eternity" dripping heavily of damnation
"infinity" an alchemist's lore
held for a moment in the mind
absolute work for my distraction
but suicide finds my idle hands
life held up with broken strands.
