Title: Thinking Thoughts Spoilers: up to "The Gift" Summary: a series of poems from Dawn's POV when Giles is sent to a mental ward Disclaimer: Buffy belongs to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, and 20th century Fox A/N: I'm sorry it took so long for me to post. I'll be more punctual next time. Until then, enjoy!

he's telling me that thoughts are just blank pages that's all

"why bother, Dawnie? it won't do any good, luv"

is that all they are?

I've lost the reality of my memories

I've lost my sister and the connection with her friends

I've lost the one person who could truly understand me because he was just like me

always in the background watching watching them make stupid mistakes

thinking that if they let us we could help them just thinking that we could make it better

but if thoughts are just blank pages uncluttered by words of anger hope sadness or guilt

then my heart is as empty as my memories and I become heartless

someone help me!

someone help him!

words in my head make me choke on tears

can anyone hear them?

or do they fill

my pageless thoughtless heartless

heart
