To Take, to Give
-Thank you for your gift of gold, as wry as this may seem.
--Thanks to the one I'll never know, who saved me from my dreams.
-Thank you, for you're brave and bold, and taught me how to feel.
--Thanks for waking me from sorrow, and helping me to heal.
-Thank you for the heart I hold, for blowing on the spark.
--Thanks for lighting the tomorrow, when all I saw was dark.
-Thank you; as the years unfold, you continue saving me.
--Thanks to the one I'll never know who mended my family.
-Thank you for your gift of gold, but please take back one half.
Author's Notes: Two different POVs (Artemis and Angeline's!subconscious), which you can hopefully tell between (although I don't really care if you can't, because there's nothing deep/theme-y/interesting about this fic, so you're not missing anything). It's mildly iambic, so there's really no way for unclever!me to fix up the word count without Killing the rhythm (well, what rhythm there is). Yes, I know this fic is awful; I'll just go back to my safe!padded!attic!room now.
Plugplugplug: All of you drabblers out there should support af100, an LJ community for AF drabbles. Even if you don't write drabbles, it's fun to read others' drabbles; maybe you could even try your pen at them, without worrying about making a fool of yourself on the Big, Scary PhanPhiction.not. The good thing about drabbles is they're quick to write and quick to read. From now on there will (hopefully) be weekly challenges, despite the past record of overdue!challenges. See my bio for the link! Or, if you'd prefer not to wade through the plug-infested mess that is my bio, just google af100, or look it up on livejournal!
