It starts with one.

Thing I don't know why

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind

I designed this rhyme to explain in due time

He had tried so hard to save her.

All I know.

Time is a valuable thing

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Watch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

He had not spent the last day with her and the last second looking futilely upon her.

It's so unreal.

Didn't look out below

Watch the time go right out the window

Trying to hold on

But didn't even know

Wasted it all just to

He hadn't shown his care.

Watch you/it go.

I kept everything inside and even though I tried

It all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually

Be a memory of a time when

He had failed.

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

It didn't matter any more.

One thing, I don't know why

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind

I designed this rhyme

To remind myself how

He had done his very best, which wasn't enough.

I tried so hard.

In spite of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was a part of your property

Remembering all the times you fought with me

I'm surprised

He remembered battling and insulting.

It got so (rap continue instantly) far ...

Things aren't the way they were before

You wouldn't even recognize me anymore

Not that you knew me back then

But it all comes back to me

He didn't bother to make friends.

In the end.

You kept everything inside and even though I tried

It all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually be a memory

Of a time when I

He had lost.

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

And it never mattered any more.

I've put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

For all this

There's only one thing you should know

He had trusted her.

I've put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

for all this

there's only one thing you should know

He knew she hadn't.

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

"Buffy," Spike croaked, crying over her grave. His back faced the cool marble and he watched as the sun rose slowly in the air.

"I loved you so much."

She had died.

* Song lyrics from Linkin Park: In the End

**Will Spike die? The decision is not mine, it is your review.

***Buffy has died by throwing herself into the portal. I have not watched that episode yet.
