The Watcher
By Shawen A. Greer
Skinner POV


I watch her as she looks at him.
As he looks at her.
The unspoken words said clearly
     to one another with their eyes.
A bond stronger than any threat or conspiracy.
A trust that goes undoubted.
I decided long ago, with little regard for myself,
That they had to be shielded from the evil 
     that would destroy them.
No price too great to pay.
For the loss is only the loss of my soul.
It has been sold to the devil for her.
Compromised for them.
As I struggle to keep them from the depths of hell itself
Only to make the decent myself.
So that they may remain safe in their knowledge of the truth.
Their alliance more important than a lone man who loves her.
