As It Was Meant to Be, a dark shadows fanfic

As It Was Meant To Be...

With one touch you cursed me,
Enslaved my soul, wrapped
My future 'round your whim

In your arms I found
My safest haven,
In your eyes, my truest mirror

My love for you
Is a darker fire
Reducing all else to ash.

Only you can make me whole
And I will not let you
Let me go.

Poet's Note: This is Angelique contemplating her relationship with Barnabas. The title was inspired by a line of dialogue from the '91 revival series (though it was actually Barnabas referring to his relationship with Josette -- the irony of that kind of appealed to me).
