*My Poems*

Welcome! This is another one of my poems. Hope you enjoy!

Angel

From Angel's POV

I felt an immense pain in my throat,
I could feel myself, my soul, slipping away,
I knew right then that I had been robbed,
Now I am doomed, I cursed that day.

For a hundred years I felt nothing,
I was sensitive to no man's plight,
For a hundred years I drained their life,
A heartless thief in the night.

Then years later I met a gypsy girl,
It made me happy to see her blood spilt,
But then they cursed me and returned my soul,
And all at once it came rushing back, the pain, the fear, and the guilt.

I am still disputing about that day,
Was it the worst thing, or was it the best?
For while I never killed again,
It seemed nothing could put my pain to rest.

I sat there in a dark alley,
Living off rats and decay,
But my life changed forever when I saw him,
Changed when the Whistler came my way.

He was the one who first showed her to me,
I couldn't help but feel sorry for her,
Yet there was something about the girl that caught me eye,
I wanted to help this Slayer.

I watched her from a distance,
While she fought, I laid low,
I became a sort of guardian to her,
Protecting her, though she didn't know.

Then she came here to Sunnydale,
Where the mystical upheaval was at it's height,
I knew that somehow I had to see her face to face,
So I followed her one night.

She sensed me behind her,
As any good Slayer would,
She tried to avoid confrontation,
And she walked as fast as she could.
She went into an alley,
And swung up on a pipe,
When I walked under it, she kicked me,
But for me it was love at first site.

I assured her that I wasn't her enemy,
I told her I didn't bite,
I gave her the cross and the cryptic warning,
And disappeared into the night.

I was still her guardian angel,
Though when I spoke to her she was curt,
I knew I had to watch her,
I couldn't bear to see her hurt.

I once saved her from an attack,
She took me to her house and bandaged my wounds,
She and I talked for awhile,
Then we went up to her room.

I laid on the floor next to her bed,
The blankets in a heap,
But of course I didn't get a bit of rest,
I stayed up and watched her sleep.

The next day she came up to see me,
She carried a bag of food that was to be my dinner,
But she didn't know that it would do me no good,
Didn't know that I was a sinner.

I tried to leave her while I still could,
I would just go on with my silent reverie,
But something inside wouldn't let me leave,
I kissed her and she kissed me.

She felt so small in my arms,
She made me forget about time and space,
And everything seemed so perfect there,
Until I felt my vampire face.

I jerked my head away from her,
I hoped beyond hope that she wouldn't see,
But then I looked and saw the sorrow in her eyes,
As she knew that she would have to slay me.

We met later prepared for battle,
This fight was to be the end,
But then I explained to her about my curse,
And instead of an enemy, I gained a friend.

I knew I should break it off,
But still we grew closer with each passing day,
I knew I should tell her it wouldn't work,
But I couldn't let her walk away.

It seemed like we were the perfect couple,
For if she or I were hurt,
One of us would lend our strength.
And give the other comfort.

We were born enemies, but it didn't matter,
She gave me peace and happiness again,
But suddenly I was torn from my sleep,
And I ran out into the pouring rain.

I could feel my soul being torn from me,
I became what I had been a hundred years before,
Now Angelus was out to play
And he was back to even the score.

Now my soul drifts aimlessly in the Netherworld,
I still watch her, feel her pain,
I can only hope he doesn't hurt her,
I hope the Slayer doesn't become the slain.

I would give anything to be with her again,
To see her smile, wipe away her tears,
To erase all the damage he has done,
And calm all her fears.

But I can't help wondering if this is what I always was,
A ruthless demon at the core,
But one sad truth will always remain,
Buffy's Angel is no more.

That's all for now! Hope you liked it!
