My Tears Are Spent

I know their hearts, then

A Haiku Poem string

I know their hearts, then
Their search for power, revenge
has now blinded them.

They do not yet see
what it is that they have done,
but will soon enough.

They will cry to me,
and what might I say to them?
My tears have been spent.

They have everything
they wanted, and so much more,
and yet compassion

does not now meet them
at their fractured spirit’s door.
For there is no room,

no safe place remains;
the king that they have christened
now will claim his reign.
