A/N Reflection on Riley post Out Of My Mind and Into The Woods. Buffy's
POV.

I lay my head down to rest
and I pray that you'll take care of the loose threads
because it was a cruel test
and the crimson sheets are laid out on black beds.

You watch me sleep soundlessly
and I breath so you know I'm alive
the way you watch me so helplessly
I've come to my destination, but I still haven't arrived.

The earth is painted in cold hard streaks
and it's so much warmer here
time passes in moments, minutes and weeks
and for once it's you I want to be near.

I'm dreaming of the light
and I open my eyes to dark
I wonder when the sun surrounded to the night
and how I'll never see my mark.

Passion is flooding your eyes
yet emotion refuses to stir within me
I'll speak a few more lies
so you'll keep holding me tightly.

The shadows are seeping into gold
and my blood is drying on your sleeve
You do whatever your told
even if it means to leave.

I lost my soul so long ago
to the creatures of my fears
yet you refused to believe so
and you'll continue to watch my meaningless tears.

I lust to see something unique
beyond these walls of blue
something scarlet and violet streaked
and yet all I feel is you
