Disclaimer: I don't own anything, nothing from BtVS is mine……but if the PTB wanna give me something, Spike would be much appreciated :), I'd take good care of him

Author's Note: This little poem was inspired by the season five final "The Gift", Buffy has sacrificed herself to save Dawn and the world, Spike can't and won't deal with her death and pretends everything will soon be fine again

Feedback: uhmmm…. yes, please, please… I mean, sure if you insist :)

Back

Come back my dear love
I'm here for the taking
don't run further, love
'cause I am here waiting;
haven't moved since you left
not a word has been spoken
only unshed tears
had this silence broken

Where are you heading, my love
will you come home tonight,
what has happened, my love
you'll soon be out of sight,
well, your space is still empty
your clothes are still there
without all your belongings
you can't go anywhere

I'll be waiting my love,
will, as long as it takes,
won't forsake you, my love,
will redeem my mistakes,
and then you'll be back,
and then there'll be peace,
and everything's fine
the pain will be eased
