Deadly Game: Deadly Game

Author's Note: This poem is from Buffy's point of view about Slaying. I hope you enjoy it! Don't forget, I live for feedback! :-)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We circle each other
in this deadly game.
Never knowing each other,
but we're both the same.
We make a pact,
of this deadly fact.
That I'm the Slayer
and you're the Player
We fight in the shadows.
I fight for right.
You fight for blight.
We are pawns of a grander scheme.
We fight between Heaven and Hell,
Can't you tell?
No, you can't see.
But, I see
Only what "He" allows me.
You actually think you will win.
That makes me laugh.
I'll make it
I'll stake you right through the heart.
When my time comes,
you still won't win.
For I won't drink
from your brink
Another will come
who will take you
Without remorse, without guilt
For you are worse than scum,
you are filth.
Will you play fair,
Do I really care?
I fight for those who don't know, who can't.
Because they weren't chosen.
I was given the skill, the responsibility
You are pure evil and
You will be stopped.
