For Sirius
Somewhere in the smallest bedroom
A boy has much to fear.
He fights with all his courage
To keep away a tear.
Somewhere dark a werewolf
Lets out an anguished moan.
How did he become
So very much alone.
Somewhere a despised traitor
Wallows in regret.
He’s more alone than any
Yet forever in their debt.
Somewhere a gleeful cousin
Is back where she belongs
And it’s sweeter now than ever
For she has what she most longs.
Somewhere a kind old man
Is cursing his mistakes
Knowing all too clearly
That they have caused too many aches.
Somewhere a man is angry
He cannot hate them all in peace.
He’s been robbed of all the sweetness
And yet the hatred will never cease.
Somewhere beyond the veil
A man at last is free
Of the pain and grief and sorrow
That his life had come to be.
Somewhere that we cannot know
A man greets his old best friend
We mourn them for it’s tragic
That their journey now is at an end.
Everywhere they still live on
Amoung us they will stay.
They’ve left a mark, where once they tread
Now they’re with us everyday.
