Dark shadow
In mirrored glass
Where art thou gone?
Alas
When I turn around you have disappeared
Who art thou, dear silhouette?
Just another dark shadow
In mirrored glass.
Dark shadow
In mirrored glass
Where art thou gone?
Alas
When I turn around you have disappeared
Who art thou, dear silhouette?
Just another dark shadow
In mirrored glass.
The seven deadly sins
Wrap me up in fire
The Devil’s flaming tongue
Curses as I enter
Below the ground
Below the earth
So far down
It begins to hurt
I’m only human
The seven deadly sins.
This poem actually used to be part of a song I wrote a few years back during the summer when I locked myself in my room with my guitar and just spewed out a ton of songs. I never quite liked the lyrics but the chorus always stuck with me so I thought by turning it into a poem I could launch a series of poems about each of the “Seven Deadly Sins”!
