Disclaimer and Author's Notes: I do not own any of the X-Men. I know I've been just spewing fics out, but they're actually all stuffed in my computer. This is the first one I've actually written in a while. This was brought on by me reading Romeo and Juliet too many times.

I loved Psylocke. She was awesome. I wrote this because of reading the "Dominant Species" arc in Uncanny.

I'm sorry that I must refuse your hand

In the sacred marriage that comes with destruction

For what has the longivity of my love

Short of eternity?

And even to pair my heart with the everlasting

As equivalents would be fair

And so the angel will guard an angel

Before you cross the shores

And touch my glov'd hand

I will not reach for you

Though my fingers ache for your skin

And my lips throb with need for yours

Can't you see?

One day a new storm will break

Tear you all apart

And we will be rightful angels together

Not the ones we are now

Broken by a barrier I won't let you cross

So I won't help you up into the level of demise

I will shake you from my ankle and ask you

Plead with you

To stay down and safe and alive

And even when the opalesque rivers run from our eyes

I must not let you pass

Please understand, my Angel

That my hand stays the gun and the blade and the toxins

And break your wings so you can not ascend

It is only because we are not ready

And remember that when it is time, you will take my ungloved hand

And we will be angels, together, in kin
