What does the name Angel mean to you?
A creature that high up in the sky flew?
Something with a halo and wings,
Who has the power to influence kings?
No, it's something simpler, easier to see,
Angel is the name of a Vampire to me.
He has no wings, only sharp teeth,
And his main goal is to keep the peace.
Was he always this way,
Or from the path of evil did he stray?
No one knows for sure 'cept him,
And those he's ripped limb from limb.
He slays demons in the LA streets,
His dead heart never beats.
However, do not be afraid,
There is no reason to fear this shade.
His heart may not beat, but it is still caring,
Kind, loyal, brave, loving, and everything.
Protects the innocents, or those he can,
The only things he fears are the sun and caravans.
Gypsies he does not like,
And, if he sees one, will always fight,
He's a Vampire with a soul,
He enjoys a midnight stroll.
Saves the world with the help of others,
Gunn, Wes and Fred could be called his "interners".
Had a sun named Conner too,
Although to him he said "Adieu".
Doesn't get along with Spike,
Will kick his butt in a fight.
Wears all black from head to toe,
Doesn't flee before a foe.
Once loved a Slayer by the name of Buffy,
But left her 'cause she was way too stuffy.
Gave a relationship with Cordy a try,
Though it soon went awry.
He doesn't show any stress,
When he helps out the helpless.
Angelus was once his name,
Killing and maiming was his game.
But now he helps people out,
He's Angel, without a doubt.
