Shattered Dreams

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...
