He is there again setting flowers at her grave
On his knees putting his weight against the head stone
He puts his face to it to kiss the engraving of the angel
He then lifts his head to read her poetry from her favorite book
Also some of his own poems that she never got to read
Poems that he never got to read to her, words that never got a chance
To lift her spirits and make her feel the love that he had for her
After an hour or so he walks away with tears in his eyes
Leaving behind the dozens of black roses wrapped in silk ribbons
Purple ribbons that she use to wear in her hair when put back into buns
He goes back to his car and drives away still remembering the angel
She always had a fascination with angels she was always looking for them
But she never found there haven she never found the sanctuary of the angels
So after she died he continued the search hoping to find her again
He gets home and picks up her journal where she kept her poems
Such sad words filled his eyes every time he read them
But also there were the poems she wrote for him
Poems of her love for him and how much she meant to him in life
The last pages written spoke of how she found her angel and he was it
I love you always filled his eyes so much they began to tear
So he put the hard bound book down in its silk pouch
He took his cloths off and went to the bath
Filled the tub and lay his body down in the warm water
And remembered him bathing her in her last days
How she was still beautiful and more than porcelain like in all her ways
From her soft perfect skin to how she was fragile and easily broken
But because of his strength she never was
It’s sad how she died so young only at the age of twenty four
He was twenty six at the time but was so much wiser
So he got out of the tub and wrapped him self in a towel
Went to his closet and took out his clothes he put it on and then headed out
He got into his car and went to a car wash have it cleaned
Aft wards he went to a club where vampires got together
Spoke to some to see where the angels took haven
The angels and vampires had been at war for sentries
But the war was stopped by the one who was born of both
The one who they called the angel with six black wings
After he made Pease he then disappeared and was never heard from again
This vampire his name was Delaquiox and he said the angels took sanctuary
Where those who fall seek the light and that if his love was an angel
That he would find here there body mind and soul
Also he offered to take him to the place for he was one of the fallen
So they got a drink and then left the club and drove away
In the car they spoke of what was to be expected and
He also said there would be a price to pay for his help
Sebastian said to Delaquiox that no price would be too great
