Chapter Text
All who I have crossed hearts with
End up bloodied and gray.
I convince myself
I would only bring death,
Once again.
I know he will go
Into to the nothingness after death
When I give into his winged embrace.
So I hold him at arm's length;
Keeping the urge to hold him tight
Locked in a sigiled box,
As I fight for the day
I can shatter it open.
I am often tempted to give in,
His tired eyes go from my eyes to my lips.
But,
I refuse to let myself succumb to the candied
Feeling of love.
Only allowing my blood stained
flannel and the open road
To be my companions.
On the battlefield,
Is no place for
A fallen angel.
So I drown in fear
that a dirty trench-coat
With blue eyes,
And shadowed wings,
Might accompany me in the
Line of fire.
Ending covered in blood
While I stand and watch.
