THEME- Poem. Angst.
AUTHORS NOTES- Set during the end of days in BTVS world, this is the companion piece to 'End of Days'
SUMMARY- Angel's POV. As he faces his last battle before death, he thinks of his soul mate *

The sun, it will rise lonely tonight
Unnatural in the chaos born
A constant riff of death and fright
Which won't be stopped by dawn

I'll soon be done and dusted
The demons are hard to kill
Los Angeles is rusting
And sucked with iron will

Cordelia's dead- my muse is gone
Wesley falls back before my eyes
But I am the one that must fight on
Must kill what takes our lives

I'm weak, and stabbed and tortured
My mind blinks between the poles
Fighting goes on for ever more
Yet I'm dying here alone

I try to concentrate on slaughter
But I can only think of you
My love is like burning water
My love for you is true

It ends here, it ends now, doesn't it?
I'll never see your face again
Or touch your cheek or feel you weep
Or hear you say my name

I wonder if you're winning there
A voice says that you're not
Am I constant, am I rare?
Within your last few thoughts?

Something pulls me down now
Away from innocent pleas
I guess it's time to pray now
As fate awaits for me

I turn to meet my killer
I scream for you to hold
His stake stabs like a pillar
It cuts into me like gold

I think a thousand love songs
I etch your face in chalk
Buffy, please forgive my wrongs
Guilt hurts me like a hawk

I reach out but you're not with me
I die with rose stained lips
I thought we were meant to be
Our love can't die like this

I think back to our last kiss.
