Whisper to me softly,
and come with me in the night
The dark descends in moonbeams
ever hiding from the light
I feel your breath upon me,
your kiss lingers on my lips
The coolness of your skin I feel
beneath my fingertips
You are a great temptation,
contradiction, and a friend
You made me feel such wicked things
You always seemed to bend
We've been alive a hundred years
And lived a hundred more
A thousand lifetimes couldn't grasp
the child I was before
You always seemed to be there
even in my darkest days
You hurt me, loved me,
made me feel so many different ways
Love and hate grew blurry,
bled together in my mind
How could we tread such dangerous ground,
and end up being kind?
My heart was bruised and broken,
and I didn't want to try
Even as emotions reigned,
I feared I couldn't cry
You waged a war against my will,
and somehow broke me down
You tore into the heart of me
and made me feel the burn
I watched the battle in your mind
and saw you fight in vain
to become the kind of man
that I could love again
You saw me at my weakest,
and you gave me strength to shine
And when we danced no one could know
I thought of you as mine
Now on the brink of losing you,
the fire flares so bright
Who would have thought those years ago
where we'd end up tonight?
I look into your eyes and see
a hero in your soul
It seems the fate of heroes
lies in taking heavy tolls
The passion floods my memories,
It courses through my veins
It burns my heart and stings my eyes,
Still memory remains
The loved we shared I can't compare,
nor could we explain
And though you are not with me now,
I won't put out the flame.
The End
Author's Chapter Notes:
This is just a little poem I thought up about Spuffy...I guess it would be from Buffy's pov (reflecting back on their final moments in Chosen, etc.), but this is just one of those things where I started writing and the words just kept flowing, lol. So it might not make a lot of sense in some parts, but I thought I'd give it a whirl anyway. I know I'm not the world's greatest poet, but please let me know what you think :-)
