Prompt: Author's choice; author's choice;

Words scribbled on the underside of an old envelope,
becoming everything inside.
Ink spilled on paper, but in a deeper sense,
several sentences blurred by tears
represented more sentiment,
more that was meaningful and real,
than the years that led to this crossroads.
I heard the door close -
not slamming, but slinking shut
in an unfortunate and unhappy desire to be undetected,
as if secrecy could lessen the pain.
(The Crüxshadows, "Fortress (Eyes to Heaven)")

Prompt: Supernatural, Dean/Castiel (+any),

Now I know this is strange to hear from the mouth of God
It was something like a scene from mars
In a struggle between loves and lies
The angel kept his face covered for to keep his word
And while I spoke something left from my life
Forget about the past
Be at rest I'll make things right
And while I held you at best you nearly died
Forget about the past
And I'll try to make things right


(  In his dreams, Dean does not turn away. )

Tryin' to live and love
With a heart that can't be broken

With eyes that can't be opened
Yeah, we both carry baggage
We picked up on our way
So if you love me, do it gently
And I will do the same
(Glass, Thompson Square)
