Immortal

Civil Angel '03

{ Buffy’s thoughts of her life and loss some time after Angel left her in ‘Graduation Pt 2’ }


Being strong is my fate.
Being alone, is too.
With death the eternal debate,
part of my destiny also.

From me did no one ask,
if I wanted it to be like this.
To me they just gave this task;
solve the world’s little crisis.

One after another they came.
They came with lightning speed.
Everyone willing to play the game,
where loser is the one to bleed.

My legend might be immortal.
And so am I, expected to be.
To do that I’d have to be abnormal.
But that, they just cannot see.

My strength might be supernatural.
And all the slayer abilities.
But for god’s sake; I’m not immortal!
I’m not just some handy utility.

I am just a mortal.
Like every one of them.
Just as much material.
Like every one of them.

But not as much a human.
Than every one of them.
A little more like superman.
Than every one of them.

My heart is not immortal,
but my love for you will be.
With you I’m just a girl. Normal.
And now you’re taken away from me.

I’m not here forever,
mortals are my tribe.
Why waste it and not be together?
Why cannot we pay the price?

What does it matter?
Your amount of days is endless.
Why cannot you decide against the latter?
Don’t do something this mindless.

Until that,
my heart keeps pounding.
Pounding for the both of us.
Pounding for the love we’re feeling,
for the chance there not yet was.

Maybe the chance never comes.
Maybe I’ll die before that.
Even maybe a few more times,
until I’ll be born as a cat.

Then if you find me,
take me home.
Call me come to you,
with that penetrating tone.

Take care of me.

Until that,
just be immortal.

For me.
