When the Heavens fell for the Earth

There once was a Righteous Man,
Who was lost in his fate,
He was nothing but a pawn in a great plan,
There was just too much at stake.

There once was an Angel of the Lord,
Who had watched mankind from afar,
He wanted to love, but he couldn't afford,
He was nothing but a distant star.

In despair the Man sold his soul to save his brother,
And the Angel rescued him from the fiery pits,
Then they fell one after another,
The Man spoke with his heart and against his wits:

"I have never been free,
Until an angel believed in me."

For the Supernatural fans, yes, I wrote a sonnet about Destiel. Or tried to, at least 😂 Hope I didn't fail too much. (I actually think this one is kinda cute tho?)
