All Characters That are implied or mentioned here are from the genius imagination of Joss Whedon and associates; and the WB Television Network. I wrote this from the inspiration of the Season 2 Finale. You will notice that most of this will not rhyme, but I am using the literary techniques, Blank Verse and Free Verse, so that qualifies it as a poem. This is told from Buffy's point of View, while she is on the bus leaving Sunnydale.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I Love you, I still do
Without a second thought I sacrificed all
Even though you changed dramatically,
I knew the real you would always love me
I wanted to save you,
I wanted to save your beautiful, perfect soul,
I wanted to be your everything,
But now I have to let go,
To my friends, family, maybe even my life,
Driven by love and Destiny's duty,
I wanted to free your innocence of it's previous strife,
I had nothing to lose but everything
Our love was a complicated thing,
Dear God, I wanted it to last
Even though you are gone now,
I pray that your soul is given that one chance,
To fly from hell to paradise.
And if you do fly to heaven,
Remember the kisses and embraces that were so nice
Not a second goes by without thinking of you,
I remember the silver cross from our first meeting,
To the time you gave me your jacket at the bronze,
That first kiss in front of my bedroom window,
It makes me smile when I remember that you changed into a vampire in that awkward moment,
You protected me, without inhibiting my duties,
I slayed the master and you watched my back
You loved me, even when I tried to push you away
You gave me your family ring, that night I tried to make you stay
Sometimes I wonder if it was my fault you changed back
Even then, you still watched my back
You didn't let Spike touch me,
You didn't let Drucilla put a spell on me,
Underneath it all somewhere,
I knew the real you was still there.
And here I sit on this lonely bus,
Contemplating the previous night's horrors
Angel, I never wanted to hurt you
I did everything I could to change you back
I keep replaying that final scene in my mind...
In front of the demon, your body realized your soul,
I could have died, when I saw that innocence in your eyes
You begged me to tell you what happened, and baby, I wanted to,
But it was better this way, I told myself, the old Angel will understand
I had this written into my destiny, I was never supposed to love you
God help me
And with the sword that damned us, I sent you to hell
And after you were gone, Nothing was left
But the emptiness that used to be my home, school, and friends
Angel dear, I did it out of love, I hope you will know,
Because I lost everything to free you.
