To Angel

[saintcorrupted]

*~~***~~*~~***~~*

Look, stars!

[peskycurse]

What are the squiggly things between them?

[saintcorrupted]

What do you see in them? I always see a lot in the spaces between.

[peskycurse]

I just see the darkness.

[saintcorrupted]

But you know there is so many shades to it. Do you like how dark I am?

[peskycurse]

I like you just the way you are. I just wish I could have spared you from some of it all.

[saintcorrupted]

Oh, no. That is not what you said at the time at all.

But maybe it is easier to be a little broken. I just wish you would stop cutting yourself on me. You and Spike. Too many sharp edges.

[peskycurse]

I know what I said. I was an asshole back then. Did you like it better, the way I was?

[saintcorrupted]

I can always see how you really are. You have always been my Angel, haven't you?

[peskycurse]

What am I really like? I don't think I know anymore.

[saintcorrupted]

A broken mirror shows so many facets. You are so many things and you can see it all in me.

Can't you? Fallen angel. Brave hero. Cruel man. My protector. My doom.

[peskycurse]

You could teach Spike a thing or two about writing poetry.

[saintcorrupted]

The words are beautiful inside his mind. But once he writes them down, they don't fit quite right. But his insides are for me to see. So bright, burning through the darkness. That's why we love him.

[peskycurse]

We?

[saintcorrupted]

Yes.

Lie to yourself. Not to me.

[peskycurse]

Spike and I really don't have that sort of thing going, Dru. Even platonically.

[saintcorrupted]

We are all wrapped up in each other. With barbed wire, all around us and through our hearts.

I know. You will know one day.

[peskycurse]

I think you might be way too smart for me, Dru.

[saintcorrupted]

Well.

You are a boy.

[peskycurse]

Man.
