Illyria

There was a time when I was all
The world trembled where I strode
When such a one as you, so small
So weak, so insignificant
Were but dust upon the road

But now I find myself trapped here
I, who once dimensions walked
Stranded now, on this human sphere
That legions of mortals infest
The stalker is the stalked

You thrust on me your mortal pains
Made me feel what I would not
And on myself are your bloodstains
From your life pouring out on me
From the battle that you fought

His gargoyle face, his sneering smile
Glorying in your demise
Preying on me, but all the while
Impotent fury all I felt
When the light did leave your eyes

Vengeance did I take there and then
Though little it soothed my rage
Emotions in a boggy fen
Chaotic, overwhelming me
Standing amidst bits of mage

What is this emptiness I feel
This tormenting, lonely hole
Wishing that the lie were real
As were the tears I shed for you
You had touched a demon's soul
