Defiler

I arise from my slumber

A thousand voices coalesce inside my head

Harvesting their souls to alter my physical being

Yet, engorging myself has somehow left me empty

Once again I find myself longing for something I cannot obtain

My milk-white eyes blister as I emerge under the sun’s gaze

The ultraviolet rays pierce through my skin

Burning me from within

I must recede back to the shadows

Bound to the darkness forever

Though I am bound to places left unseen

I stalk nonetheless through the veil of night

As it cascades over the lands

All that lies below becomes my domain

Feel now, the awakened frenzy

The countless possibilities, all these victims beneath me

I hunger voraciously for the tender taste of flesh

Teeth barred, eyes glazed, it's now time to feast

The sweetened stench of fear empowers the fetid beast that is still yet unseen

(Terror, suffering and death)

Terror, suffering and death forced upon the weak

Every night is savoured but what has become of me?

Created by a thirst for power

Hindered by a thirst for blood

Driven by a need to feast

I cannot escape my unquenchable bloodlust

I’ve fallen prey to the vices that birthed me anew

I contemplate release...

My still body erupts forward unto the moon-kissed dirt

Driven by newly programmed muscle memory

I rush forth reluctantly

What state of being is this?
