A poem about Buffy and Giles, inspired by...well, a chain of things really. But it all started with Pepe the seagull 
-------------
When I last made my confession to you
You laughed, we both did
Bent over the gym horse
In the back room
While danger hummed outside
We were helpless with the giggles
Darkness was simpler
Than this candlelit castle
It threw no shadows
I was sleeping with Spike
This amused you
You saw me in tatters, wrecked
And you still approved.
Daddy was home
(Or a rakish uncle like him)
And all was well
Because you were there
Now I'm sleeping with my students
Stealing diamonds
Doing deals with Dracula
I think you wouldn't laugh with me now
But I'm safe from your judgement
Because you're gone.
