Raziel's Loss

I saw myself, again

In a broken mirror

Dropped by a child of mine

As they died

Those golden eyes that promised love

Where empty hollows of putrid light

That stern thin mouth

An empty maw

My firm, rough skin

Torn asunder to muscle beneath

And my cold, calm heart

Overflowing with rage

My children, who I loved

All where slain for his pride

My great halls gilded in stone

Now forever gone

My family dead, long since lost

The legacy gone, decades forgotten

I would mourn my loss, if I still had

Eyes to weep
