Rotten Eternity

Oh sad, self-made god,

When you reached out your hand to become the sun did you know?

Did you know immortality fades from glorious forever to the long slow rot of living death?

The mortal heart was not crafted to endure eternity.

Did you not realize you would see your brothers and your lovers die?

Did you not see the cruelty in their kindness, the cold curiosity in their offer?

Because after watching all the ages of the world they were numb and bored,

They offered you the glory of themselves just to see if it would break you.

And it did.
