Disclaimer: I don't own Buffy The Vampire Slayer, 'cause if I did, I would've found a better way to end the series than to have Buffy sacrifice her life to save Dawn. First the WB kills off Doyle in the 1st season of Angel, and now this! Anyway, this is my memento to the Slayer.

The Slayer-A Hero in her own right

The infamous Slayer, whose life was cut tragically short

Buffy Anne Summers was her name; she held down her fort

Known as Sunnydale, California with her band of Scoobies at her side:

Willow, Xander, Anya, Giles, Tara, Spike and Dawn, ready to abide

And protect the town from the vampires and demons that creep from the Hellmouth

Buffy's first boyfriend, Angel, left her and headed down towards the South

To Los Angeles with Cordelia and Wesley later on to help the helpless

And save some damned souls possibly in the process

Riley was part of a military group who befriended our Slayer; big mistake

He left her to go to a jungle and broke her heart in worse ways than could a stake

The ways of the Apocalypse, there were too many to name:

The return of the Master, the world being sent to Hell are the first 2 by fame

The Mayor's attack on the school during graduation, yucky mess he left in his wake

Adam's attempt at destruction ended with an ancient power from within and the Initiative did shake

Glory's attack was the final battle for our awesome Slayer

Fate and destiny unfortunately did take her

Away from her friends and loved ones, that's true

Buffy, until Season 6, we shall miss you.

Wow! My first Buffy story. R&R, folks.
