A Hall Of Mirrors... Poem by Mark Heathcote

She said she'd love me forever. 
And that she always would. 
Our two hearts—thoughts 
'Could bond; the stars for good'.

It wasn't harmony.
From the outset, that is true!  
For her, my sweetheart, I'
'Watch as infants do'.

Out of the sash window
Or that—skylight in the soul,  
In reflections, light
'Entwined—we're made whole'.

Half of the locket
Combined, clasped. 
Is what we now—become?
'In each other's grasp'. 

But soon, these mirrors 
It broke like shards of glass.
A hall of mirrors
'With no-truths—Alas'

The lights ebbing darkness
Shine on all their paths.
But, know all hearts—break!  
'Drown in hollow baths'.
