7 years, 144 episodes ago,
I sat in front of my tele screen.
Watching a new t.v. show,
the best one to hit the scene.
As I watched within the hour,
Buffy this girl in blue,
was kicking butt with this power.
To the world of t.v., it was new.
As I watched the people of Sunnydale.
Many knew no more then the rest.
Below them was the mouth of hell.
and made them become possessed.
Buffy protected this town,
from things that go bump in the night.
Saving people all around.
She never went down without a fight.
She would learn how to slay,
from Giles, watcher and teacher.
And friends who helped along the way,
Whom she saved from every creature.
There was one she liked a lot.
But a secret he held within.
Not letting her know on the spot,
he was a vampire she let in.
But something evil was about to rise.
Demons ran off, vampires twitched their eyes.
The earth shook on the harvest night.
A vampire was ready and willing to fight.
“Giles, I’m 16 years old.” she began to cry.
and with one tear “I don’t want to die.
But she was alone as slayers always appear.
She was scared to die, yet showed no fear.
So she followed this boy into the night.
And walked into a deadly fight.
But it was her destiny, to die like this.
She had died, but only 2 minutes of her dismiss.
Xander saved her; she drowned below.
Buffy once died, it just goes to show.
This was her story for many years to tell.
Because for the first time, she saved Sunnydale.
Returning from L.A. she changed in masses.
She skipped out on more of her classes.
Bit off everyone’s head, including her friends.
She had problems, tying up lose ends.
The master would soon rise, and return once more.
But she had let this happen before.
So she smashed the bones and in Angel’s arms she fell,
for the master never rose back from hell.
2 vamps, Spike and Drusilla came to town.
To reek havoc, to raise some hell all around.
Spike had tried to kill Buffy at one time.
But something in the air didn’t quite rhyme.
Angel and Buffy; kind of poetic to me.
That he was a vamp with purity.
Still she did not see, why he remained her security.
One moment of happiness, of ease,
and she would finally know.
Angel would become a sleaze,
and she couldn’t let him go.
He lost his soul, the cleanly part.
Still she loved him like she said.
But he continued to break her heart.
For she knew her boyfriend was really dead.
Drusilla, she was weird and full of insanity.
So she tried to bring forth the judge to rid humanity.
When that didn’t work, as else crashed.
Dru became depressed, she was so trashed.
Soon, Buffy felt like dying.
But without a moments pause.
She finally stopped her crying,
and found on a yellow disc, a clause.
Ritual of Restoration it had said,
this would restore a spirit,
but only on the undead,
with magicks called on to hear it.
With the ritual almost complete.
at the end of Buffy and Angel’s defeat.
Buffy again would save Sunnydale,
when she killed him and sent him to hell.
After fleeing Sunnydale to L.A.
There’s nothing new about Buffy we can‘t say,
She fought hell beasties in hell,
And then returned to Sunnydale.
Found her
friends just the same.
But they had their own pain.
Buffy not there, they had to slay,
Fighting without her, they did okay.
Willow became a practicing witch.
Cordelia the same old bitch.
Xander still the center, the sole.
Faith, a new slayer took a role.
Faith her name alone invokes thee.
Called on after Buffy’s’ first demise.
Faith, has something we didn’t see.
She was glower than thou, with her doe eyes.
At first Faith fought on the side of good.
Terrorizing and maiming the evil commune.
Helping Buffy as best she could,
but the trial of good she became immune.
One night, in a quiet darkened street.
Faith and Buffy ran into a guy.
Faith stabbed him at her defeat,
As Buffy began to cry.
“You killed a man.” Buffy said.
“I don’t care.” was Faith’s reply.
For she really left him dead,
with really no reason why.
To kill made her feel alive.
But this murder was real.
To her, she was 5 by 5.
And acted like it wasn’t a deal.
Angel tried to help, as well as Buffy.
But she acted all high and mighty.
Got a little rude, and huffy,
and became a Miss Nobody.
Tired of the Scooby gangs help, she fled.
Ended up the office of the mayor.
A demon and technically dead,
she would become his slayer.
Buffy and Faith fought handcuffed,
Determined who power was enough.
Fighting and scrapping till the end,
this would establish the committed sin.
The mayor would ascend on graduation day.
But not if Buffy had something to say.
The school would come together and fight.
In the darkened daylight.
Faith, in a coma where she would stay,
8 months till her judgment day.
Buffy head for college life after graduation.
For she received her high school education.
Buffy dropped some books on a boy.
Riley Finn was his name.
He had work that was a little coy.
But his and Buffy’s were the same.
He worked for the government, it would appear.
Capturing demons, and keeping them near.
Returning to Sunnydale, they captured Spike.
But he couldn’t harm not even a little tike.
Because they put a chip in his head,
But he blamed it on Buffy instead.
Oz left Willow, she became depressed.
Crying to Giles, Buffy and the rest.
So she did a will-it-so spell,
then strange things happened in Sunnydale.
Buffy and Spike betrothed and got along fine.
Giles didn’t see anything, he was blind
Xander and Anya being chased by a demon.
Still no one could hear Willow’s screaming.
“Can’t even short, can’t even cry.”
“The gentlemen are coming by.”

This catching tune was in Buffy’s dreams.
Hush-so know no one can hear the screams.
Taking the voices out of the town,
Buffy and Riley would bring them down.
He found out she was something new.
She found out who he was too.
She was the slayer the only one.
He was a commando, with the gun.
Tara Maclay came into the scene.
Quiet girl, not at all mean.
She was polite, and sweet,
The perfect one for Willow to meet.
They kept their relationship under the hood,
but there was no reason that they should.
Forgetting all about the girl Buffy had devastated.
Faith woke up in the hospital all rejuvenated.
Faith and Buffy had a body switch,
Faith was Buffy, but more of a bitch.
The government Riley worked for,
Was in a secret lab under the college.
Spike had been there once before,
and helped the Scoobies with his knowledge.
Trying to end this regime,
the Scooby gang couldn’t work.
Spike broke up the team.
because of a monster named Adam, a jerk.
College life wasn’t so easy for them all.
So sleeping away was the best.
But something would block there every call,
and put each to a test.
This conclude their college bound,
and set out to adulthood, no longer a teen.
But something wasn’t right in town,
for Dawn, Buffy’s sister, came into the scene.
We focused on Dawn, called the key.
When a God came to town, named Glory.
She wanted the key, but had no clue.
Where to look, or what to do.
Riley left without a goodbye.
Buffy didn’t even begin to cry.
For many problems yet to be.
For Buffy still had to hide the key.
Buffy, the Scoobies and Joyce knew.
What she was, and what she could do.
Buffy treated her like a child, a brat,
So Dawn ran away just like that.
Glory continued to hunt down her key,
So she started blaming everybody.
First with Spike, Tara and Buff.
Still wasn’t quite enough.
Riley’s absences left Buffy with depression.
Spike’s crush on Buffy became an obsession.
Tara and Willow in love and gaining power.
Xander and Anya doing it every hour.
Buffy had come home one day.
For something bad came her way.
On the couch, her mom had been.
In a glance, Buffy ran in.
She shook her body and scream “MOM!” again.
Not knowing what to do, she didn’t give in.
She gave CPR, and Joyce’s rib snapped and
Then Buffy realized what had happened.
Buffy had called 911 and Giles.
The operator said they were near, a few miles.
Giles ran in saw Joyce and had tried.
“Don’t move the body.” Buffy had cried.
Her mom was still, she was dead.
For it was the brain tumor in her head.
Later Buffy visited the first slayer in a vision.
Now Buffy finally had a mission.
The Primitive slayer said into the flame,
For Death was the gift the slayer would claim.
Buffy knew what this meant.
So not another minute was spent.
She jumped in the portal, instead of her little sis.
Buffy was gone. She achieved true bliss.
“She saved the world a lot.” was written on her tombstone.
For we knew the slayer really was alone.
Sacrificing herself to save Dawn and the world.
Buffy would became a woman, no longer a girl.
She was dead for 147, but on the 148th day,
Willow, Xander, Anya and Tara found a way.
With a call on Osiris to hear their plea,
they brought her back into this reality.
Making the gang back into seven.
When the Scoobies pulled her out of heaven.
With no one to trust, she turned to the dead.
Because he knew what was going on in her head.
Months of love and for certain hate,
she broke it off, but it was too late.
Spike was determined to make her feel.
Still what they had wasn’t real.
Xander left Anya at the alter,
Tara and Willow’s love having falter.
Dawn skipping school and stealing.
Buffy coming back from the dead and dealing.
An amulet causing everyone sing what they feel.
Buffy’s delusions making nothing real.
Everyone stuck in the house by a wish of Halfrek.
Dawn with Willow under magicks caused a wreck.
Buffy invisible, Anya a demon again.
Giles leaving and returning in the end.
Spike wanted Buffy, but she didn’t care.
That’s one reason why she cut her hair.
Spike went to the Magic Shop to find a spell,
but something happened, should I tell.
Anya angered by Xander’s flee,
She got even with somebody.
In the end, they all knew,
what Buffy and Spike always do.
So after attempted rape, he fled,
We figured that was for the best.
But there was someone else dead,
Tara was shot right in the chest.
Willow began on a killing spree,
Warren wouldn’t get the change to flee.
She flayed him alive, and came after the two,
Jonathan and the other one, Andrew.
Xander stopped her, with “I love you Will.”
Calmed her down, made her chill
She cried in his arms, her hair went back to red.
For once it wasn’t Buffy’s, but Xander’s instead.
One summer later, Buffy taught Dawn to slay.
Dawn in high school, with much on the way.
Spike is crying and insane in the basement.
Willow in London trying to repent.
“From beneath you it devours.” is the tag line here.
Girls, potentials making their way near.
With Spike, something in him burns.
He lies on a cross, as Buffy learns.
She found out about what he did.
Covering his soul from her, he hid.
In the basement, 3 weeks spent,
that long till he would repent.
He was kidnapped, and couldn’t flee.
“She will come, she will come for me.”
That line kept running through his head.
She believes in him, so she said.
As these thoughts ran through his mind,
A slayer was waiting, not that far behind.
She came, saved, and carried him away,
But still more bad news to come their way.
She could trust in Spike alone.
So her friends kicked her out of her home.
Giles, Dawn, Anya, Xander and Will.
No where to run , only demons would kill.
Sunnydale was empty, only pure evil would remain.
She would fight alone, with her own pain.
She found a scythe, stuck in stone.
For “It is not for thee, but for her alone."
Spike found her, and gave an incredible speech.
But she just turned the other cheek
“I love what you are. How you try.”
Just then she began to cry.
“You a hell of a woman. You the one Buffy.” said Spike.
Just then, she turned to him, she had the mike.
“Can you stay here?” she looked at him and smiled a bit.
“Sure.” Spike said, and began to sit.
“No, here I mean. Will you just hold me?”
Spike looked at her because he could see.
She loved him, but didn’t say a word.
It would go unnoticed, and unheard.
Later she fought Caleb with the scythe she possesses.
She returned to home, to clean up other messes.
But she found confront with another friend,
Kissing Angel, Spike seeing it in the end.
He loved her more than anyone else we know.
He would sacrifice himself to show.
He wanted her, but he never knew.
She would say those 3 worlds “I love you.”
“No you don’t, but thanks for saying it.” as he cried.
Her eyes filled with tears, just before he died.
There hands engulf with flames of fire.
Her face was his last desire,
Hellmouth caving into hell.
Spike had saved Sunnydale
Her last words forever will remain.
“Spike.” she said with little pain.
He was a monster she made into man.
And she proved by holding his hand.
Spike might of just been a soulful vamp,
but now he is a hero, a real champ.
Buffy the series might haved ended its show,
Regardless, I still want everyone to know.
Buffy will live on till the day I die,
the best show in the world, don’t ask why.
The End

    I enjoyed the poem. Pretty cool of Jil to write that.

    This line- "Faith her name alone invokes thee. Called on after Buffy’s’ first demise" Where is Kendra mentioned in this? Cuz Faith came into the picure after Kendra’s, not Buffy. Is that expressed in those lines?

    WOW great poem Jil. I don’t think I could do one like that. Kudos! You explained everything that was Buffy....

    Kendra was not in a lot of Buffy-if you ask me she didnt play a major role as Faith-also I think if she added in Kendra it would just dull out the poem it seems to focus on Buffy and the Scooby Gang.

    Also Faith was called on after Buffy’s first demise-as was Kendra. Faith and Kendra would of never been called if Buffy didn’t die.
