read this. While not intended to be a SPN poem, the themes captured here work so well for both Castiel and Dean. Haunting, with a wonderful last line.
reccer's note. Fanpoetry is a rarity in fandom, but it's a writing style I'm always impressed by when done well. This particular poet is able to skillfully work the themes and ideas presented in SPN into beautiful and emotionally resonant verse, and I do hope you enjoy these pieces. For more SPN-centric poetry, both fanverse and proverse, check out the communities motherlessguns and gid_hanasheh.
