I am your protector.
I am your guardian. Your spectre.
I am the subtle shaking bass.
I am the one who walks the memories, just in case.
I am the violin string, the sorry sounding note.
I am the parallel decision, the other, unheard vote.
I am the swift of something through the trees.
I am the hanging mist of unease.
I am the bared teeth of threat.
I am what you concluded to regret.
I am the distance never covered.
I am the kestrel who hovered.
I am the line which lays between stalk and hunt.
I am the swell inside, when you require front.
I am the follower, the hawks eye.
I am the undeceived, who looks away when you lie.
I am the unfathomable strength.
I am the weakness in both of us.
I am the wolf tracks imprinted next to you.
I am the look you spite, the look I feel too.
I am between the hands of others held.
I am what you intentionally repelled.
I am the blink on the inner iris.
I am the most flawless, illusive virus.
I will never speak, I will turn my face first.
I will be the talisman to you, as you are my curse.
I wear the camouflage, to see me, is to sell my service.
Which is something you will never do.
At least this way, I keep you safe, in spite of everyday.
At the expense of my own well being. That is not a cry.
I would not trade. I would rather, truly, die.
The protector will live on, the unrequited one.
To fight every battle, even when they can't be won.
I am your life long hate, essence, love and trust.
Always, forever, Smoke. However, never, dust.
