All Through The Night Tessa Noel was a strong, well drawn, character. I suspect that she would have wanted to know more about Mac's swords and perhaps even spared with him. Weapons have a certain beauty, too. And, in a darker, alternative universe, she might even have avenged him. All through the night I wait for you Your car in the drive... Your foot on the stair But dawn is streaking the sky with rose and gold My bed is still empty And you're not here Another cup of coffee poured; cold now... Another uneasy glance at the phone so silent Do I want it to ring? You smiled and said it was nothing, but I knew Someone's waiting out there There's a look... A sudden stillness in your face You hold yourself differently Power contained Every muscle poised, waiting for something Will this be the night you do not come back? Will I finally go to that warehouse I'm not supposed to know about? Will I see the marks of the lightnings on the walls? Will I find your dark curls red, bloody... Covering a wound that means you will never hold me again Will I gather the cold flesh of you to my heart I was the one who was to pass... You were Eternal, Immortal... The fine black stone tells its lies I have the money and the properties... I never cared about them but I can use them. I have the sword and the skills you taught me. There was a name in your wallet I will find him All I can see is the emptiness All I can feel... nothing; that part of me is dead. I wanted... we would be together... Oh, my love, we will still be together There in the shadows he stands He does not sense me; he cannot sense me You will never come home And I hope no one waits for him They will wait forever... ~Fine~ Return to the Main FanFiction Page Return to Mehri's Mountain Comments, virtual chocolate and good scotch are always welcome
