| "Welcome to the
Hellmouth" he said "Please be careful or you may be dead. "If The Harvest comes and the monsters go, "And The Witch tries to bring you low, "Although you may be MY Teacher's Pet, "And my help you will always get: "The demons are many and prophecies are set "And I fear that I could fail you yet. "Please, I have some sound advice to relate, "First, Never Kill a Boy on the First Date, "And given The Pack and parcel of what you face "You need a guardian Angel on your case." He sighed, then paused, and then stammered a bit She was such a young girl and she gave him a fit. But somehow too, she had touched his soul To save her life, he'd take any role, He'd play, "I Robot, You Jane" And use a computer despite the pain. For her, he'd master any skill, For her, every demon he would kill For her, he'd defy the Fates and Powers Who it seemed spent so many hours Forcing them to play their parts In The Puppet Show of Broken Hearts. Thoughts of the future gave him Nightmares and shivers And yet it was her smile that gave him quivers, Tugging at his heart and softening his brow, In ways that he would not consider now. He hunted for ways to protect and serve This Slayer of the boundless nerve. As an Invisible Girl she might be free Of what Destiny wanted her to be. But he could not cast that spell Being duty bound upon the mouth of Hell... He had to tell her, she had to know That she was to face a horrible foe. He had to tell her what he had read! "There is a Prophecy, Girl," he finally said. "Where you will go down into the deep "And you will die and I will weep." She looked up in horror and terrible fright, And he pulled her close and held her tight. "I defy prophecy," he declared "Do not fear, do not be scared. "I will not let you die today." And then she heard him softly say... "I love you, Buffy, you're my life, my slayer, "We'll find a way, and we will be together." |
