A/N: Jake loves Faith, but when he thought about who he'd fall in love with, he definetely didn't think of her...

(From a fanfic I've had in my head for a while: Faith 'decides' to go to college after The First is defeated, and meets a nice, for-the-most-part-normal guy named Jake. In the words of Avril Lavigne: He was a boy, she was a girl, what else can I say?)


My Warrior, My Love


She could have died just so many times
But to her luck has been kind
Soon she's just gotta die
Her lucks gonna shy
Away from her constant chances
Her life hanging
At the end of her own bloodied fist
And as she dies the last thing she'll say
Is it was all worth the risk

The life of the warrior she embraces and couldn't live without
The hard horrid choices
And the chances coming with the constant price
The constant price of her life
That she won't hesitate to pay
When it's hard to live and harder to love
And where she does both
A puzzle a thousand times broken she always remakes
Into pretty pictures

To her, her work is her fun
The constant bloodied hands
All her battles lost and won
And lightening choices made with her instinct
A single moment defining everything
Abandoning herself
And becoming everything and nothing
So much more
But less than what she is

Ready to die before each
Each battle for her fight, her life
Says her good-byes every time
So whenever she comes home they know
They know they got lucky this time
No one could get her to stop
This life
This life of pain
This constant whirl of things to break

And she's just so pretty when she moves
When she's deadly
When she's just so ready to die
When she has that confidence in her eyes
Quiet calm acceptance clear
She dies she'll go out happy
Because she'll go out fighting
Fighting for what she knows is right

And she's the constant non-cliché
Of things I knew I never wanted
Of things so hard to keep inside
And I still don't want it to be true
I don't want to love her
Because I love her
And there's not going to be anyone here
To pick up my pieces
When she finally finds the time to die


A/N: So, like it? and if anyone's interested in co-authoring the fanfic I mentioned up top with me, PLEASE PM me. Because I don't want to let this go, but I know I'm gonna need major kicks in the ass so I won't NOT update.
