How Can You Be So Blind?

Author's Notes: Everything BtVS-related belongs to Joss. This is my first attempt at writing a poem based on the series, and it is told from Willow's point-of-view during Surprise. Hope you enjoy!

How can I be so hard for you to find?
Dare I ask, "How can you be so blind?"
How many other girls will there be
Before you say you're in love with me?

Are you sorry I had to see
You kissing her in front of me?
You swore that you disliked her more than anyone
Why now do you view her as being so much fun?

Tell me, should I give up on you at last
Knowing that our time to be together has passed?
You've fallen for everyone but me
And that, I know, is the true tragedy...

Changes

Author's Notes: Was inspired by the preview for the upcoming Valentine's Day ep. Could be from either Xander or Cordelia's point of view, but I'm leaning towards Cordy.

How much longer can I yearn for your touch?
How can we kid ourselves this much?
You and I are water and fire
And any chance of a future looks dire.

We'll never be known as the loving couple;
Being together, we're only headed for trouble.
Only in private can we be affectionate and free,
Trapped in a love that can never be.

When it seems that all we do is fight,
How can this possibly feel so right?
Even when we treat each other like dirt,
How can I want you so bad, it hurts?

This can't go on; something has to change.
Already, the looks people give us are strange.
They know something's up, I can tell,
And we can no longer pretend everything is well...

Shattered Dreams

Disclaimer: Everything BTVS-related belongs to Joss, yadda, yadda, yadda...

Author's Notes: Is told from Buffy's point of view sometime between Surprise and Phases.

All I ask is, "How can this be you?"
Someone I knew as so loving and true?
Whose fault is it that it came to this,
All we had lost in one moment of bliss?

This wasn't what either of us planned.
But, nonetheless, here we stand,
You being cruel and me trying to cope.
Why is it so hard to give up hope?

All I am left with is your handsome face,
A love so powerful it is impossible to erase.
Who can help pick up the pieces of this shattered dream?
Who will be there on the nights I just want to scream?

I know it's time to bury what we shared,
Just cast away the moments in which you cared.
Yet, it may take years before my heart stops crying,
And I will banish the thought and feeling of dying...
