My Sacrifice

by Ninth Level Of Hell

A poem found after Buffy's death in "The Gift" but written before. I wrote it to make it seem like she had a husband and child (Dawn)it was one of the only ways that I could get it to work, I hope you like it and review as always :)

I smiled one day, I might again soon

I'll smile again, against the sweet moon

Because when it is full, we know what is out

The best of the demons, my sweet song no doubt

I love you, I always will

I need you to survive the kill

I'm happy without you, and happier with

I'm glad you are with me and will not face death

Because I've been there once, I've been there twice

Death is my gift but what is the price?

The sweet song the life, is now all but ended

And the sweet lure of death and taints have been sent

So forgive me what I leave today

I left it quickly, I could not play

I leave my heart to my husband and child

My items of no mean I leave to the wild

I've been there once, I've been there twice

Death is my gift and my sacrifice
