The image shattered

  The entity lay coiled, Shivering, Fetal like Upon the cold smooth surface, Colder than any worldly ice,                          Blacker than as pitch, Its frozen depth bottomless, Cold burning like fire For any enduring it touch.  Slowly, The creature black as the ice, Lifted it head Seeking to find surcease From the burdening silence Suffocating like a blanket That surrounded it. It tried to scream, But silence devoured the agony wailed. It stood, Surrounded by a grey fog, Thick, Unyielding, Stinging needle like, Touching skin Raw from the burning ice, No healing possible, Nor mercy shown in this realm It slowly painfully started to walk, Dragging itself through the darkness, The swirling fog, An endless journey leading nowhere, For there was only nothingness, Only its own company to keep, Filled with the lifeless void Something worse than inner pain, Empty yet aware. Hunger drew it, Seeking, Hunting without hope, Sustenance raged for, Anything to feed, Fill, The inner void, Cold, Cavernous. In life it sought out others Feasting on their pain, Happy in the ruin it wrought, The innocent its delight, Goodness consumed To feed the inner darkness, It prowled through life Reveling in it destruction Of those filled with light. Now it hunts With no prey to find It screams out its rage, Hatred, Its longing unfulfilled. Alone, Lost, In a world Of its own creation. Nothing else it can do, It feeds upon itself, Hunger feeding hunger, Nothingness seeking sustenance, That only love can fill, Rejected long ago For other foods That fed only darkness Nor starving in its hate filled isolation. The image the entity made in, Rejected, Scorned, Hated, When finally gone left to itself, Only fragments left of what once was, All of humanity gone, Shattered by the act of self creation Wishing for no other destiny. Better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven, The entities kingdom vast, Built on the cold icy burning lake, Endless, Vast beyond measure, Its rule supreme Contested by none, It subjects Rage, hunger, eternal cold, upon the icy lake of fire. |
