DISCLAIMER- I don't own anything.
SPOILERS- None. Set between Season 2 and 3.
RATING- PG
THEME- Angsty. Poetry.
EXPLANATION- 'Cold' is based on Angel's state of mind during his time in Hell. Joss has always said that Hell was a cold place, so I've written a poem to hopefully portray the despair Angel feels there. I honestly did write 'Cold' with Angel in mind, although because no names are used in the poem, it has a universal application.

Glass house, glass rooms, glass people
A glass of red wine on the side
Frozen water in the bathtub
And a melancholic mind

Apples in the parlour
They taste like shards of ice
Ignored, untouched, uneaten
They never decay with time

A body's slumped in the corner
A bottle's smashed on the floor
No plasters can fix the damage
Engraved upon this hall

A chair is by the chimney
But the fire smoulders on
The table's set for no-one
