My Protector

I can feel his eyes on me

Those intense emerald pools

Those same eyes that have watched me all my life

Countless tousles in the back yard

The times we lay talking softly in our room

When we were children you were my protector

My big brother

We realized our dreams

We became professional wrestlers

Damn good ones too

You had my back no matter what

But everything was always about you

You took all the glory

Edge, King of the Ring

I know you weren't aware of it

My brother would never hurt me

Not intentionally

I remember the hurt in your eyes

The disbelief at my betrayal

But what cut me deepest was the utter disappointment

Never before had I disappointed you

Too late I realized my mistake

I had destroyed EnC

And I had done it because of greed

Dear God what have I done?

Yet you still keep watch

I know you still love me

Someday I'll swallow my pride

I'll beg your forgiveness

But until then I'll act as if I don't know

As if I don't feel your eyes upon me

But I'll know and wait

And feel safe knowing that you'll be watching
