A.N./ So...another drabble! I'm being productive! This is Merlin/Freya angst, sorry guys. Inspired by Tears of an Angel by RyanDan, and rated K+. I don't own the song, or Merlin.

And they still stood on his cheeks as he burned her.


Can you hear heaven cry

the tears of an angel?


Review, please.
