Disclaimer…I own nobody
Summary…Angel’s point of view after Buffy’s death
Dedication… To us all
I see people walking by
I see birds in the sky
The tide ebbs and flows
The sun shines on the earth below
The ants are working hearty
I see people go out and party
The flowers grow and bloom
While she lays stately in her tomb
Time moves on, though all around me
Life as I know it, ceases to be
How can I plan for a tomorrow
When I feel, only bitter sorrow
There are lovers holding hands
Along the beach, across the sands
They are walking to and fro
They are coming, then they go
She is lying six feet under
Does she feel, does she wonder
Is she happy, is she at peace
Is time moving or does it cease
Should I face the sun tomorrow
So my death this pain will swallow
Should I let them see me crying
Or do I smile for them and keep lying
The trees grow straight and tall
Boys and girls go to the mall
Rats are scurrying thru the alley
Kids are eating peanut butter and jelly
Was I, her last thought
Was my sacrifice for naught
Did I give away our happiness
So what remains is only emptiness
I am sitting on the rooftop
Should I jump, or should I not
Life has no meaning, no more reason
Summer, winter, it’s just a season
But if I leave this earthly plain
What will I lose, what will I gain
Will we really be together
Will we finally have ever after
Let the world keep on turning
Let the waters of the sea keep churning
Send me a sign to know what’s right
Should I lie down and die, or fight
Then I felt a warm sensation
As if a hand had touched my cheek
And that touch was so familiar
So to you I turned to speak
“My love, my own, my heart
Your death is tearing me apart
Do I keep fighting and to you, be true
Or please myself and come to you.”
Then as softly as the wind whispers
I swear I heard your voice so sweet
And as your fragrance wrapped around me
I at long last felt complete
“As I felt myself dying
I reached out and took hold of you
So once again your love has saved me
So keep fighting and stay true
For the time is shortly coming
When I will walk the earth once more
Then we will finally be together
Because that is what forever is for.”
So now I know what I must do
And I will wait for your return
But the tears will keep on flowing
Until of your rebirth, I learn
But the tears will keep on flowing
Until it is truly you I see
For this world without you in it
Is a lonely, barren place for me
