Freak Show

Author's Notes: This is from Buffy's PoV right after the scene where Angel breaks up with her in "The Prom" and she's thinking about when he said "Something other than this freak show" or something like that...so here ya go...

Maybe he was right
All along
It is a freak show
I thought it was love
I thought it was happiness
But it was only
A bunch of clowns
Trying to pretend
So the rest of the world
Can laugh
And mock

Do you hear that?
You were right.
Not just about us either
I thought it was life
But it’s only
A freak show
I thought I could live
But freaks can’t,
You know

You know what’s funny?
I didn’t even see it
I guess I’m just too
Optimistic
Who woulda thought?
The Slayer can’t see
What’s right in front of her
The Slayer can’t see
That she’s merely
A freak show
