Bella by Apollonious
Oh Bella, my Bella, with your long dark hair,
Your eyes sparkle in this dazzling starlight.
As we stand together
and face our future,
I can almost taste your soul.
Oh Bella, sweet Bella, as I watch you dance,
I store this moment in my secret heart.
For as long as I live,
I cannot forget
These seconds beneath the stars.

Bella, dear Bella, there is a new Lord
Who calls all of our kind to follow Him.
He crushes the Mudbloods
Beneath His gaunt fist
To make a world for those of true magic.
Bella, my heart, your eyes do not sparkle:
They glow with the murder of Mudbloods.
And you take His madness,
You make it your own.
Your face reflects the skull in the sky.

Oh Bella, please, Bella, come back to me.
Reclaim your soul and abandon Him.
I have not heard your words
For years on end,
But only His behind your lips.
Bella, lovely Bella, I watch as you laugh,
Ecstatic from the chase and the death.
You shriek the final spell,
And your cousin falls.
The Potter boy screams like a splitting soul.

Oh Bella, mad Bella, I watch you dancing
In the carnage and the blood and the pain.
You are still beautiful,
Though killing is your love.
I do not know your face anymore.
And because of this,
More than anything else,
I know
You are no longer mine,
But simply,
Bella,
His Bella.
