once upon a year gone by
she saw herself give in
every time she closed her eyes
she saw what could have been
well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds
when covers tucked in tight
funny when the bottom drops
how she forgets to fight... to fight
Buffy Anne Summers asleep peacefully in her room she dreams a dream. A world
with no
demons, no slayer, no hurt, no sadness, just happiness. She smiles in her sleep.
and it's one more day in paradise
one more day in paradise
There she is standing in a front yard of a house with a picket fence. In the arms of her Angel. She smiling and laughing as she watches her children play. She looks up to the one she loves he smiles down at her then plants a kiss on her lips.
as darkness quickly steals the light
that shined within her eyes
she slowly swallows all her fear
and soothes her mind with lies
well all she wants and all she needs
are reasons to survive
a day in which the sun will take
her artificial light... her light
Suddenly everything turns black she stands alone in the darkness. Buffy wakes up to another day the sun shinning in her eyes she gets up and puts on her daily facade. Making her way down the stairs she put on a smile saying morning to Dawn in the kitchen. Dawn leaves to school after breakfast. Willow soon leaves thereafter. She washes the dishes the sunlight coming in through the window shininning on her.
and it's one more day in paradise
one more day in paradise
it's one more day in paradise
one last chance to feel alright... alright
She looks out of the window as her dream plays in her head. Kids playing outside running quickly inside to the kitchen them running and asking for cookies. She turns around a true smile on her face, no one was really there her smile faded away.
don't pretend to hold it in just let it out
don't pretend to hold it in just push it out
don't you try to hold it in just let it out and
don't you try to hold it in you hold it in
She finished washing the dishes she walked in the living room and sat down on the couch. Her emotions taking over no longer able to hold them in she cries.
and it's one more day in paradise
one more day in paradise
Lost in her dream world the kids appear in front of her ask her whats wrong and comfort her. She hugs a pillow as she cries. Buffy wiped away her tears a few slip away from her eyes and trail down her face. She wiped them away as well. She got up from the couch putting the pillow back where it belonged.
once upon a year gone by
she saw herself give in
every time she closed her eyes
she saw what could have been
After a long day at work she comes home to a quiet house up the stairs she
goes to her room changing into her pj's. She pulls back the sheets and gets
bed closing her eyes seeing what could have been.
The End
A/N: okay kids in the story technically if she was truely dreaming of what
could have been there would be none since Angel's a vampire. So technically
they're adopted. Hey its a fic no need to be technically right ? ;) Feedback
always welcome. Good Bad..Good and Bad..Its all good to me :)
