Broken Soul

Disclaimer: As always, I own nothing. Buffy belongs to Joss Whedon, the song My Last Breath is by Evanescence, and Osiris coincidentally belongs to Egyptian mythology, which existed before the age of copyright laws so everybody steals from it. Just thought I would be nice and respectful and disclaim him too.

Rated: PG I guess… for depressingness.

This is really new for me. Very short, and so very, very depressing. But it’s beautiful at the same time. WAAAAHHHH!!! I made myself cry!!!! It’s for Willow and Tara as you can probably see. I don’t know if it really works. It might be a little hard to understand, but then what the hell. Nobody understands me anyways. Its short so please read and tell me what you think at free_tree@moose-mail.com! :) or maybe :( is in order…

Broken Soul

Don’t Leave me…

There’s a girl. She’s crying… and there’s a body in her arms. Blood… so much blood… it stains her. There’s no life… even as she reaches out for it, it slips through her fingers. There’ll be no coming back.

Hold on to me love

You know I can't stay long

All I wanted to say was

I love you and I'm not afraid

The room shakes. She’s powerful. She seeks to defy the laws of nature… to pull back a soul already moving on its way. She seeks to defy the gods.

Come back…

She’s reaching, reaching out for that tiny spark of life, that last grip on the one she holds dearest, as the body in her arms grows cold.

Can you hear me?

Can you feel me in your arms

Holding my last breath?

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Together, as the final moments slip away, like sand through an hourglass. Together is not for long.

Sweet rapture and life,

It ends here tonight.

No…

He calls… But he cannot have her… He will not have her… The sands fall.

I'll miss the winter

A world of fragile things

Look for me in the white forest

Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)

No…

She denies him her light. She denies him the half of her soul he calls… Her heart cries out to her failing light. She holds close what she feels, she knows, inside, is her own last breath…

Don’t go…

Sweet rapture and life,

It ends here tonight.

But Osiris has already let her have one life back… and he will not return this one. Not for how much she begs… not for her own soul, which is torn and stained as she loses sight of the light, and the darkness moves in all around her.

Don’t go…

Closing your eyes to disappear

You pray your dreams will leave you here,

But still you wake and know the truth

No one's there.

She holds the lifeless body in her arms, not allowing herself to believe, denying the words that press in on her from every angle. She squeezes her eyes shut, seeking solace in the outstretched arms of nothing.

Come back…

Say goodnight, don't be afraid

Calling me, holding me, as you fade to black.

Stay with me…

The beautiful flame of love is now a burning wildfire, and it consumes her…

(Say goodnight) Holding my last breath

(Don't be afraid) Safe inside myself

(Holding me) Are all my thoughts of you

Take me with you…

A soul joined as one is torn in two by the cold clutches of death. As the darkness closes in, she clings to the shadow, but the light is gone.

Sweet rapture and life,

It ends here tonight.

She’s gone… She’s gone… She’s gone… She’s gone…

End
