Hubris

"My pride has doomed us all"

This is my greatest betrayal

Throughout the rivers

Of change and the sands of time

I, the eternal pillar

Forever parting the surge

This enigma of limitations

Stains my soul

Where is the breach?

Am I god?

A final test to gain truth

The thirst for understanding

Has shifted to perversion

Lust for certainty leads

To the wells of knowledge dark

Drinking deep of its waters

My gluttony is still not sated

The disease of curiosity consumes

The greed will never cease

The skies of Isolation now

A bridge between worlds

My spirit once pure

Now a mire of arrogance

Diving from my sanctuary

My passage through

The portal of reality

Oh tortured heart

Let us find certainty

The howling wind

Screeching songs

Of sorrow and woe

With the ground

Fast approaching

Begging me"Return!"

A paused world

Pleading time to rewind

One thought shrieks

With searing wrath

"Purge"

Writhing in agony

This mimicry of Icarus

My envy of the empty, attained

This is death, my final truth

Now can we rest

My troubled heart?

Slowly spiralling through the siphon

Sensing my soul now wasting away

My heart it fails as I realise

"My pride has doomed us all"
