Sonnet of Jack and Ianto

by Screeching Dragon

It's a sonnet from Ianto's mind on what he thinks of Jack after Abaddon. Slight slash but mostly angst.

-1Authors Note: This occurs right after Jack left after Season 1 of Torchwood. It's from Ianto's point of view. I really haven't written poetry in a while, and I haven't written much in the way of Shakespearian sonnets. Sooo… I hope you like it.

-- The Sonnet of Jack and Ianto --

When in desolation is it heard?

That sweet whispering in my ear,

as if on the wings of a bird

has been made ever clear?

The pretending of lied love

hissed through clenched teeth,

and at first it seems from heavenly above

before I looked and found the promises coming from underneath.

Before all forgone promises and kisses

before I even began to completely trust

you disappeared against my wishes

making me wonder that if all you had for me was lust.

And although this betrayal makes you seem untrue,

I just can't help but want to run back to you.
