Scar Tissue



Scar tissue that I wish you saw

Sarcastic mister know it all

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause

With the birds I'll share

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view



"Hey, Faye. Dinner's ready," Jet spoke softly. Faye quietly sat down and stared at her plate. It had been five months since Spike's passing.

'Five months already. it seems so much like yesterday.' Faye thought. She toyed with her bell peppers and beef like she always did. Jet sighed mentally. He didn't like seeing anyone like this, especially Faye.

"I'm not hungry." She managed to speak under feeble lips and pushed away her plate - rejecting her food. That's how she felt - like she was rejected and broken.

"Faye, it's not healthy. If you keep this up you'll - "

Faye interrupted him, "I promise I'll eat breakfast." She rose from her seat and shuffled to her room.

Jet rested his head in his hands and sighed, "I have to do something about this. Faye's depression is really getting to me." He had to admit he missed Spike just like Faye and seeing Faye crumble didn't help at all. 'I don't know how long this will go on' He thought.



Push me up against the wall

Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra

Fallin' all over myself

To lick your heart and taste your health 'cause

Faye buried her face in to her pillow. She wasn't crying, she was too weak to cry now. 'Lunk head, it's funny how you can cause me so much pain, even when you're dead.' Faye shifted her body so that she was resting on her side. Spike had caused her so much pain. After the day he left, wishful thinking kept her going for a while, trying to believe that he was still alive. But how long would that last? She would think. And now. Five months and going, he still hasn't returned. 'Maybe he is alive, and just somewhere else.Maybe I should find him.if only - ' Faye's facial features softened into a slight frown, then suddenly changed to firmly pressed lips and stern eyes. 'No. He's Dead. Accept it.' She dug into her pillow again.

'Spike. Why? How? Why did you leave us? How could you leave us? You should have just let go. Why couldn't you.I wonder what would have happened if you didn't leave. We could have had something more.' She thought. 'Would have, could have, should have. I'm really losing it.'



Soft spoken with a broken jaw

Step outside but not to brawl

Autumn's sweet we call it fall

I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and

'That's it Spike Spiegel, I'm going to find you.' Faye decided. She had enough of being helpless and wondering "what ifs". She had enough of the endless feeling of her mind being eaten away by this. this. lunkhead. It was about time for this broken doll to become Faye Valentine again. Even if she did find Spike actually dead, at least should would be at rest and have peace of mind. It was sure as hell better than "what if". And if she did find him alive. then boy would he have a lot of explaining to do.

Faye hugged her pillow tightly while thinking of Spike. Her journey would begin tomorrow and she needed to sleep if she was going to do this. Faye finally fell asleep with blurred dreams of the bitter and sweet memories of the past.

**** End
