This is the second poem; it's about Gemma and Kartik's relationship in Rebel Angels. It has some spoilers, but nothing too big, so if you havent read RA it probably just won't make much sense.

Welcome Intruder

I think I can escape from you,

(Though I don't know if I want to),

And then I find you've followed me,

(I don't know if I am unhappy.)

This wild Christmastime is wrong,

I'm told this season should be calm,

(But nothing is, for me.)

Hope, Strength, and Song,

(And Beauty, too),

Between us there's no room for you,

And yet you're here despite.

Everything is different now,

(And though I've said it all before),

This time it's true,

I know what I must do,

(And I need not only help from you.)

Again, please leave me a review. Thank you so much for reading this. This series is now officially completed. I will add to it only if another book comes out. (Which I fervently hope for!)
