You take your clothes off
Right after school
Tara just arrived at the cheap motel that she had been staying in since her and Willow’s break up. Her classes ended for the day and all she wanted to do was crawl into bed and slip into that familiar sadness that filled her days since she left her former lover. She didn’t even bother with pajamas these days.
The TV's on
The flame is blue
And you hope it won't take
All afternoon
All day all Tara wanted to do was to slip into that bed. Normally she would have loved going to her classes. Normally she would have gone home to Willow. Now all she did was hope that class would end soon so she could leave.
The TV's waiting
To talk to you
The only thing that seemed to register these days was the television and it’s millions of characters. They never faced having to walk away from someone you loved. In the end they were always happy.
It's your naked body
On white velour
But there's no feeling
Just weight on you
There was no feeling’s left for Tara except that weight. The weight of walking away from Willow. It was the hardest thing she had to do; at least that’s what it felt like.
But you get nauseous now
As he speaks to you
Such proper language
For acts so cruel
Tara had taken to thinking of her father, the things he had said long ago made her feel nauseous now whenever she revisited that past. But he was here in the present, a ghost in this room telling her how stupid she was for letting Willow do those things to her. Making her forget, changing her to how Willow saw fit.
Tara would think why couldn’t things be different for her and Willow? Why did Will have to become so fucking dependent on the magiks? Why couldn’t Will have followed the Wiccan rules and respected the gift that was given to her? But something her father said rang in her ears as she thought these things.
He says "we all follow the rules
We can't very well go and break them now can we?
For you, for you, for you..
