What's This Life For?
Joxer looked at Gabrielle with a nervous face, the "big news" that Gabrielle had told him she had apparently was a bigger deal than he thought, "Joxer, do you think Xena loves me?"
"Of course she does, Xena lives for you."
Gabrielle shook her head and threw him a notebook, "Read last night's entry."
Joxer opened the book up to the entry that the blond bard had told him and scanned the writing,
Hurray for a child
That makes it through
If
there's any way
Because the answer lies in you
They're
laid to rest
Before they know just what to do
Their souls
are lost
Because they
could never find
What's this life for
I see your soul, its kinda Grey
You see my
heart, you look away
You see my wrist, I know your pain
I
know your purpose on your plane
Don't say a last prayer
Because you could never find
What's this life for
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle
the score
Cause we all live
Under the reign of one king
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no
damn score
cause we all live under the
Reign I said we
live under
One king
One king
One king
But
they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle no damn score
cause we all live
under the reign
I said we live under
One king
One king
One king
But they ain't
here anymore
Don't have to settle no god damn score
cause
we all live under the reign of of one king
When he was through, he looked up and Gabrielle who held out her wrists, "Look at them, you can see where I've cut myself, I can't help it, I love her Joxer!"
"Shh, it's okay, I understand, but suicide is not the answer, try talking to her, I'm sure she'll understand."
"I can't Joxer, I'm afraid of the rejection that I could face."
"Okay, but if you really want to know what your life is for, it's Xena!"
That night, Gabrielle sat on her bed her head hung, tears falling like a waterfall.
"What's troubling you, Gabrielle?"
She lifted her head to find Xena sitting next to her, taking Xena's hand, Gabrielle looked into her eyes, "Xena, do you love me, I mean, really love me?"
"Of course I do, you know that."
Gabrielle sighed, "No, I mean more than friends."
"Oh, well I'm not sure if I-."
"Please Xena, I've showed you my wrists, I'm killing myself over you, please say yes!"
In response to Gabrielle's tears, Xena delivered a passionate kiss to the bard's lips.
"Now we both know, we're soul mates for life."
"Soul mates for life." Gabrielle agreed
