people-gods and demon-mirrors

You can see how lost I am
when I wander between my tasks
and when I try to speak,
I bite my tongue in half

Warmth and a smile send me into shock
when they leave, the bottom drops out
I dive headlong in multiplied gravity

Later on in the bottom of the deepest fault,
could you meet me with another pair of wings?
Play for me the saddest songs
only to show me they've lost all power
