…my Cordelia…
.
My path was birthed in shadows,
Long, ugly, brutal, dark…
A path I chose to embrace my curse,
And on this world, for once, to leave a mark.
.
Lost I was, in the concrete night,
Fighting blindly, and for nothing.
A Champion without a guide, a link, a voice,
To answer those crying out for saving.
.
Then chance.
Then tragic destiny.
You were there.
Cordelia.
.
The gift you brought to me was laughter,
Of light, in my life of endless nights.
The gift you left with me was hope,
That I might find the strength to fight.
.
Other loves we knew – it's true.
Memories of kisses and gentle dreams.
But no other love reached into Heaven,
To sing the song of you and me.
.
I live, exist, go on, eternal,
Such is my fate, my curse.
But in you I find a reason to write,
Another, and another verse,
.
Our moment was stolen.
We never got our chance.
But love exists not in moments.
It's in the fullness of the dance.
.
You're here with me, I feel you,
Telling me to carry on.
You gave up Heaven for me, and I thank you,
Just wait a while… I won't be long.
.
These are my thoughts as the dragon comes,
That I will see my Cordelia today.
Rekindle that love so much more than fire,
That love that, for us, will Not Fade Away…
.
…Angel…
