Title: I Wish

Author: MissKitieFantastico

Summary: This is a poem I wrote about Angel after 'Sleep Tight'

Rating: PG for cracked-out thoughts that are totally from another universe.

Disclaimer: The poem is mine. It just vaguely resembles someone's thoughts from a show I like. So you can't sue.

Distribution: Usually I'm lenient, but this is my poetry and even though you probably wouldn't want it, just please doesn't take it. My poetry is my mind, and you can't take that from me.

Spoilers: None, but it wouldn't make sense if you haven't seen 'Couplet' or 'Sleep Tight'.

Feedback: Yes please. It calms the angry puppy. Remember, kitties don't like puppies, especially angry one's.

I wish I could feel you

But my hands won't seem to work.

The blood has long since gone

As I lower myself to the dirt.

.

I wish I could see you

With my eyes all clouded from tears.

One's I had believed were dried

But return to bathe my fears.

.

I wish I could hear you

But all the sounds are all gone.

Replaced by silence eternal

As I lie and wait for the sun.

.

I wish I could love you

Please let me have one chance.

With a heart that's long-since broken

A heart only you could make dance.

.

A dance of life and love and faith

A start for the new man in me.

Left now with nothing but the shell of a man

And within, a beast that's damned eternally.

.

My baby my soul, my lady my love

I've wished for you to return to me.

I tried so hard and failed too much

and all I can say is I'm sorry.

Ok, here's the deal. I don't like flames. I'm VERY sensitive when it comes to my poetry. So if you wanna flame me, move on and keep your mouth shut. Not to be rude, I'm just being honest.
