The Witness: The Witness

This piece of literature is fan poetry. I own the characters and ideas which I created. I don't own Buffy the Vampire Slayer & don't own any of the characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Joss Whedon, The WB (Warner Bros.), Mutant Enemy, Sand Dollar Television, Kuzui Enterprises, and 20th Century Fox Television own Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its characters.

The Witness

I am her damned jester.
Her mime in a glass cage.
I can't speak to her.
She wouldn't hear the words.
I can't hold her.
She wouldn't feel my touch.
Can't comfort her.
She can't feel the warmth of my arms.
I'm caged.

I just die when she cries her troubled tears,
And they run down her face.
Yet I can't wipe them away.
I feel the pain when her heart falls
And breaks into a thousand pieces.
But I can't help her put it together again.
When she hurts, I'm doomed to watch
With hands tied.
My heart bleeds with the pain of knowing.

I am her condemned puppet.
No voice of my own.
No actions and no control.

So I live with this curse.
I live with my burden.
Doomed to witness it all.
It's my unwritten responsibility.
I am her unofficial "watcher."
