Author's Notes:
Just a note about the title: I called it 'All My Faults' because of the moment in book six when Dumbledore drinks the potion protecting the Horcrux and moans "it's all my fault..." In the poem, Dumbledore is thinking about his faults. Thus the title, "All my Faults."
My second poem on Fan Fiction! Please, please, please, read and REVIEW!
Selfishness,
Arrogance,
Stupidity,
Greed,

These are the things that took you from me.

Your beauty,
Your innocence,
Your love to Ab and me,

These are the things that I failed to see.

Guiltiness,
Grief,
Uncontrollable pain,
The memory of myself, so unspeakably vain...

Peacefulness,
Happiness,
A family again,
These are the things I wish for you
when I whisper your name.

Ariana,
my dear sister,
I've never forgotten you.
I hope you'll forgive me
for all that I did not do.

I failed to love you,
I failed to care,
I failed to treasure you
while you were still there.

And now that you're gone from me,
I want you to know,
my dear Ariana,
all I failed to show.

I love you, I love you,
and I'll never forget,
my greed,
my stupidity,
and most of all,
my regret.
