Note: My thoughts of what Buffy and Spike were thinking at the end of 'Seeing Red'.

First of three POV set to music by Creed; they can stand alone but are best read together.  

Wash Away Those Years

She came calling

One early morning

She showed her crown of thorns

"Death is your gift." The voice of the First Slayer echoed in her head.

She whispered softly

To tell a story

About how she had been wronged

First Angel, then Riley now Spike, why?

As she lay lifeless

He stole her innocence

And this is how she carried on

Three loves, three lovers, now gone

Well I guess she closed her eyes

And just imagined everything's alright

But she could not hide her tears

'Cause they were sent to wash away those years

They were sent to wash away those years

I drove all of them away.

"There's nothing good or clean in you, you're dead inside" her own words stung.

 

My anger's violent

But still I'm silent

When tragedy strikes at home

I know this decadence

Is shared by millions

Remember you're not alone

(Remember you're not alone)

"You always hurt the one you love."

Why Spike? Why did you do this?

Well I guess she closed her eyes

And just imagined everything's alright

But she could not hide her tears

'Cause they were sent to wash away those years

They were sent to wash away those years

For we have crossed many oceans

And we labor in between

In life there are many quotients

And I hope I find the mean (the mean……the mean)

 

We're been throw so much, I thought you understood.

Why….Why couldn't you just wait a little while longer?

Well I guess she closed her eyes

And just imagined everything's alright

But she could not hide her tears

'Cause they were sent to wash away those years

They were sent to wash away those years

(Maybe we can wash away those years.

 I'm hoping you could wash away those years)

Where do we go from here?
