Fool For Love
He hurts.
He's supposed to be evil--a killer, a monster--emotionally and socially inept.
Not like Angel.
No soul.
Does the ability to hurt come from within one's soul anyway?
What is the soul but an untangible metaphysical premise?
He loves and doesn't love come from same place as pain?
He loves her.
With everything he is and isn't, he loves her.
He lost her once, but she came back.
He watches her.
Afraid she will vanish in front of his eyes for a second time.
Waits. Lights up his cigarette.
They are from two very different worlds.
He is the enemy.
But he can't harm her, doesn't want to.
She doesn't believe, can't understand.
He hides.
In the shadows, puffing on his cigarette.
Waiting for the chance to prove himself worthy,
not convinced he is.
Maybe she'll never return his feelings,
or admit that she does.
But he'll wait as long as it takes.
He has eternity.
