Writing: Who are you?

I must not slay your dragons,
It is not the right thing to do,
I must not fight your demons,
Because they only come for you,
I will not take away the nightmares,
Nor share with you good dreams,
I will never stop your heart from breaking,
Nor see you cease in your screams,
But yet I remain here,
The one to keep you sound,
Until the day when you must die,
It is then that I will come around,
As all around you the world crumbles,
A world so carefully crafted by your two hands,
I will stand above you and wait,
I will keep love afar and away,
In those times when you are more liar than man,
I will not bring the dawn light to the sky,
I will not chase the midnight darkness away,
I can not say I am here to rescue you,
But this one promise I speak is what I can say,
I will find you on the battlefield,
The one you chose through all the disaster of these years,
And when you have fallen and sit begging on your knees,
I will be there for you you and through all your tears,
I can not fight this war in your place,
I will not steal these lessons you must learn,
I can see now that it is not as complete as it seems,
You still have so much flesh left to burn,
It has to hurt if it is ever going to heal,
I will not steal this right to heal from your lost soul,
Yet it is truth that when you are fighting,
I will make sure you fight alone,
I am the thing of memories and nightmares,
Something unexpected come from the mist of Truth,
A harbinger of the reality you find yourself facing,
A messenger come late from your troubled youth,
Though it is failure I bring to this fight,
Still is my sword doubly sharp and ready to cut,
And when you are fighting the worst of your fights,
I may not make this all easier for you,
I am not the solution, or the means to the end,
I am instead proof of the failure inside of you,
And the promise that this too, of all your pains, will never mend...
