Disclaimer: BtVS is not mine...or at least that is what my therapist tells me..

A/N: Basically this is a poem that I wrote while feeling a bit pissed..and feeling sorry for Spike. I haven't seen "Touched" yet. I've only heard a little about it. This poem holds not spoilers, so if anything that the poem symbolizes happens, then it just shows how wonderful my psychic abilities are. This poem is from Spike's POV. I don't mean for it to be written by him, but I guess it could be...whatever...

Alone in the world

you walk alone

these dark alleys

they've become your home

did you think it'd make me feel better

the note next to the bed

apologizing for something you can't say to my face

rose on the pillow

love that you can't admit

you don't need me

I'm just a shadow on a moon filled night...
you walk alone

fight on your own

I couldn't imagine anything

more fierce yet beautiful

like ever-changing light

you're translucent

and I'd follow

until you lost the will to go on....
used and abused

left in the dark

alone inside the nothingness

that's all we know

we're more alike than you'd care to know

sometimes it's ok to feel lost

I let you find sanctuary in me

I took all that you gave

of course I dreamed of more

your touch ignited a fire in me

a dull burn in my core

and a rose is all you left me...
She walks alone...

She cries alone...

She dies alone..
and I couldn't save her..
