*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Buffy,
Don't you see?
You're the biggest part
Of me,
My heart,
My very soul.

You have all of
My love,
My body,
My trust.

Then, your lust,
That's why you come back to me.

I wish it were more,
But I'm not blind.
I've said this before:
That if you destroy me,
Out of what's left behind,
All that you'll find...

Is you,
In a dead shell.

I missed you so,
When you fell.
You decided that I was first to tell,
That you were in heaven, never hell.

And now I know
That someday you'll finally realize
I'll always be here...

When I look in the mirror
I have no reflection,
But I see you.

I see you
Every single second,
Every damned minute,
Every bloody hour
Of every fucking day.

I see your beautiful face,
Your golden hair.
I love it all,
I love you.

All of you.

You think I'm a monster,
Just another demon.
I know I'm vampire,
Because of Drusilla,
My sweet, twisted Sire.

I loved her for over a century,
You see,
Now I can admit it,
She never loved me...

I was just a pawn,
A child in her maze,
Always second place.
She always went back to *him*
Worse than bugs crawling under my skin.

After everything,
He was still her precious "Daddy"
Though Angelus made her happy,
I was blinded by hatred and jealousy,
But if it weren't for him,
Everything that is me
Never would be
If he was gone,
So was she.

Then, my first love,
Cecily Addams.
When I was human,
William the Bloody,
That's what they called me.
The name was for my awful poetry.

Cecily,
That bitch.
She led me too my bloodthirst.
That deadly itch,
My after-death urge.
It's her fault I fell in love again,
With Dru.
With you.

Buffy,
My love.
My heart is dead,
And my soul is impure,
My demon has killed,
Nothing is for sure.
I know you aren't thrilled
About the facts...

But, the real fact is
I'll always be here...

I will always love you.

You own my heart.
You are my heart,
Buffy,
Because I love you.
