Fiend

It stares into my soul with callous evil eyes,
clawing in the epicenter of all thats rust and gray,
awaiting to be released from the ancient caged lies,
a monstrosity born of absolute necessity and satured trauma,
Its need to feed on worm infested corpses taken from those we love.
Horrid endless talons and piercing yellowed teeth,
lurching in contorted shadows rendering flesh,
existing in a realm of insideous darkness and decay,
never appeased gurgling the spilled blood always refreshed.
A mammoth of terror who fells even the strongest of men,
its cold gaze and oozing reach never too far from you,
chained before a wretched throne of hollow pleading skulls,
created from our slumbering subconscious mind,
we are one and the same yet hideously different in reform.
For nightmares exist to reflect what we hate the most,
this fiend exist within us all and cannot corrode to fall,
Faceless and eternal throughout histories thrall,
it has existed in worlds of pain and unimaginable fear,
the fiends name is Regret and holds rule over all.
