⌈ ESSENCE ⌋

up and up you soared
though denser than air.
i followed your trail
and made you aware.

floating in dull grey,
but I couldn't be seen.
you were hazardous
and I glorified its mean.

as you clouded them,
i helped you block.
stifling their senses,
as wrong as it was,
i didnt want to stop.

you were the smoke.
i was the essence.
again you whispered
for my noxious presence.

and everytime you did,
with you I had perished.
in you only
did i relish.
