Poem- "Every Night I Save You" Feb 3, 2009 18:07:45 GMT -5

This is something a had a sudden inspiration to write during school in December. I guess I was having a Bored Now moment cause I found myself thinking about the "Every night I save you." scene in "After Life". This kinda cute, kinda sappy Spuffy thing is what came out of it...

Every Night I Save You

How many times has he said “I love you”?
How many times has it been true?
But out of new words came new meaning
Something greater than just his dreaming

With his head bent low he says five words
Her face is blank and undisturbed

Will she see the truth this time?
Will his love shine through his eyes?
Or will his poetry pass her by?

Her mind’s been elsewhere
Coming up from the ground
So maybe his words don’t seem very loud

We’ll never know what she was thinking
As he looked up, his eyes still gleaming

Why can’t she see the beauty behind?
Those soft words that were spoken nearly stopped time

Those words came from his silent heart
On his sleeve and always broken
She couldn’t see the man behind
His love his greatest token

Through his sadness she is silent
She barely even blinks
But suddenly the scene flips
And she has no time to think

I know one day she’ll tell him
How she really feels
But until that day I’ll hear those words
And know she sees they’re real

Simon: What is that?[br]Kaylee: That's a postholer. You dig holes...for posts. [br][br]Wash: Here's a funny twist: no.[br]Mal: No what?[br]Wash: No sir. [br][br]Spike: Were you there with me?[br]Buffy: I was.

this is really good! Very spuffy of you.

Those words came from his silent heart
On his sleeve and always broken
She couldn’t see the man behind
His love his greatest token

This is my favourite part. Mix of metaphore and imagery. Well done!

Ahhh I love it! Esp the "I know one day she'll tell him". That's a great mix of other Buffy references into this one. Spuffy forever! haha. Great job, I enjoyed it
