If I owned Buffy, Hyena!Xander would've stayed around a hell of a lot longer, Tara wouldn't have died, Spike would've never been chipped and Oz would've stayed... And Angel would've been smart enough NOT to boink Buffy.

Love's Bitch

Claimed and leashed, never loved

Beaten, broken, bruised, and shoved

But still defiant and screaming

As he laid bleeding and dreaming.

She chose well, the one that created this angel from hell

But only time will tell

So I'll stand guard until his final death

Savoring each unnecessary breath

As it rises to Olympus like a silent prayer

So Cupid himself may wonder why and where

This pitiful, damned, proud creature has asked for absolution

When there is no solution

To ease his undead, aching heart

As longing, love, and lust rips it apart.

Little poet dressed in leather and glorious in your brilliant violence

What do you do when the silence

Fills all your empty spaces

With memories of long forgotten places.

The wind forgets faces but never a name

So who, love's bitch, is the one to blame

Is it the ones left behind or the ones no longer here

Or is it the one still holding his memories in fear

Clutched to his chest so in truth he isn't alone

Like the crackling static of a telephone

But little rose with thorns

Little, lovely angel crowned with horns

Who is it that you wish for at midnight

Your Dark Princess or the white, silent starlight?

Love's bitch, proud in his misery

Such a strange creature is he

As he lies broken and screaming

But with his eyes wide open when dreaming.
