The Light in My World of Darkness: The Light in My World of Darkness
by Belladonna
Disclaimer: (I don't know if I need this, considering no character names are mentioned, But to err on the side of caution...) The character of Angel, from whose P.O.V. this is told, belongs to Whedon, Fox, WB, et.al. I *don't* own Angel. (Though goodness only knows I wish I could!:))
Oh, and, BTW, the stuff in quotes belongs to none other than Mr. Bard-Of Avon himself, William Shakespeare.

The Light In My World Of Darkness


You are my all.
You light my darkness,
And finally make me
Happy

But like the light,
My love,
Your affection
Scorches, burns
Harsh and painful

Like the sun,
I may never see you
Directly,
Never to look full-on
Into your shining face

"What light through yonder
Window breaks?
It is the east,"
And you are the sun.

But if you should ever
"Arise, fair sun,
And kill the envious moon,"
'Neath which I must ever live,
So, too would you kill
The only one you love.

Bathed in your glow,
Love,
My world around me
Does not brighten, but
Turns ashen-gray,
As if to dust.

I want to see you so badly,
But who I am prevents me.
Just ever know,
My sun,
My love,
My light,
That I will love you
Until eternity passes.
In other words,
Forever.
