Note-- This is a sort of poem like thing that takes place sometime after
"The Body". I wrote it before "Forever" aired. Its something that came
out in fifteen minutes over Easter weekend, scribbled in a notebook.
Please review, I LOVE feedback as I'm still pretty new at this. I'm not sure
if this is any good or not, but it was in my notebook so I thought, what the heck?
It's from Buffy's POV.




I'm not above anything
Elevation seems impossible
After you've visited the depths
Felt the flood
Before realising it had started
Heard her cry
In the dark of night
And pretended not to
Hid under the covers
Trying to tell yourself that its normal
Everything needs to be back to normal
But this is normal
Crying
Darkness
Mind
Numbing
Pain
It's a life
And
And it's mine
But it shouldn't be hers
No matter what she is
She still falls into my arms like I'm all she has left
But then I remember
I am
I hold her tight
She is my anchor
Without her
My body would have floated to the surface
Long ago
I don't have the heart to
control it anymore
I don't control anything
I used to think I did
I have this power
But what does it suffice?
Saving some world
I'm no longer in?
My world ended
the day she was gone
And every once of fighting
I did
Power
I have
Couldn't stop it.
