Willow
by Rob Morris

Willow saw Tara fall
And Osiris balked her call

And as Warren ran to ground
Willow swore he would be found

On that night, through Slayer's way,
Willow cut his skin away

Cried the pained witch, let all know
There are yet two more to go

Slayer and friends could not fail
And they hied then to the jail

But would Willow, blind with tears;
Also kill those she held dear?

Said the fleeing Jonathan this isn't like her at all

And Willow wagered true that she could sure take them all

With her focus yet off as it had been all that year
The Slayer fell against Willow blind with tears

Rupert Giles then at last returned
With the power he had earned

But his bindings fell away
Willow declared a Judgment Day

Then toward the cemetery she crafted a fiery ball;
Declaring quite profanely that it could consume them all

And so with greater powers than ever she went and disappeared;
Her vow to end this cold veil of tears

The two targets went and fled
Dawn and Buffy fought the dead

But there was one who fell in gear
And feared not Willow, blind with tears

On that day, on that hill
Somehow Xander found the will

Calming magic she'd been fed
But only he could reach heart and head

He spoke in his best voice even as he was told to flee

And Xander said with force that you can not get rid of me

For as I loved the Small Willow and The Willow of Many Fears;
So I Do Surely Love Her Blind With Tears;

Blind With Tears; Blind With Tears; He Held Willow; Blind With Tears;

From her grave at last the Slayer came; and the world it kept its frame;
More than friends again, more than a team, was the rebirth of a dream...
