Cave In, Hand Over, Hang On


Angel lives and gives in, lives to give in, lives/gives with army ordinances/Lawsons, haunted hotels/ungratefuls. Angel put quarters in for Mandy but drank a man already dead instead.

Then there's Buffy, and Angel wants life again. But she rips his necklace off, quits, and that's the end of this . . . but for Xander at his door.

Then Angel puts hopes in some pool underground (for pennies: pounds), but Buffy's already dead. And Angel wants to drink her, too; give in, like Darla said . . . but for Xander on the floor, beside the dead.

Instead, Angel watches Xander bring him back to life.

That's very beautiful. I especially loved the last sentence.

Thanks! It's one of my first drabbles, so I was unsure about it. Glad you liked it.
