Dead.
They lifted the coffin into the ground.
Dead.
Dawn weeped on my shoulder.
She was dead.
No mystical forces could bring her back.
A hand rested on my shoulder. "I'm sorry." My teary eyes looked up at Buffy. "You didn't do anything."
"Then why do I feel bad?" Buffy weeped as now both Summers sisters cried on my shoulders.
I stared at the wooden coffin being lowered into the ground.
My lover was being buried!
In a hole in the ground!
The tears came freely down my face as Xander wrapped me into a hug.
He saved me. When no one else could reach me, he reached out to me with
love.
No matter how evil she had become, Xander never gave up on her.
I realized I would have to face Tara's death the human way, grief.
My lover's gone,
Her boots no longer by my door,
She left at dawn,
And as I slept I felt her go
Returns no more,
I will not watch the ocean,
My lover's gone,
No earthly ships will ever bring her home again.
My lover's gone,
I know that kiss will be my last,
No more her song,
The tune upon her lips has passed
I sing alone,
While I watch the ocean,
My lover's gone,
No earthly ships will ever bring her home again,
Bring her home again
**The normal words are he but I changed them to 'she' for Tara's sake. **
