Since When

Civil Angel '03

{ Buffy’s thoughts about her wacky love life }


Since when has sky been purple?
Since when have clouds been blue?
Since when has life been simple?
That I’m gonna tell to you.

First there was this stranger,
who didn’t seem so evil.
He was the first, dark Angel.
And the latest one: blonde Devil.

What is there in between?
Between lovers, first and last?
What is there to be seen?
Time there goes just fast.

There was this little date,
the last I got in high school.
But Scott was there too late.
Actually, he was just a fool.

Then one idiot in college.
During freshman year.
Really gave me the knowledge,
of a common man’s fear.

Which,
Ladies and gentlemen:
is Commitment.

Then came the army fellow.
Bush-hiding commando.
Knowing how to shoot an arrow,
like any great desperado.

With him I thought I was happy.
Finally found a mate.
But it turned out just crappy,
and again there left was hate.

Back again where I started.
Between my two vampires.
What is new? I’m confused.
Torn by my desires.

Since when has there been,
any logic in this life?
Just like when have vamps died,
by using butter knife?

Since when have angels been,
dark, gorgeous and broody?
Just since devils have been,
blonde, smoking and moody.

Since when did you get to choose,
who to fall in love with?
Just since hearts didn’t get to bruise,
when lovers lose their faith.

Love has never been easy,
but this, is just ridiculous!
