And said my prayers
As children trampled
Up the stairs.
When I was young
And blameless.
When my heritage
Was shameless.
But that is gone
It can’t come back.
Love is the only
Thing I lack.
I must admit
I loved just once.
Dimples and
Inheritance!
She was perfect,
I was free.
I told her
We were meant to be.
She turned me down,
She scorned me lots!
She punched me once.
I could see spots!
Why did she hate me?
What did I require?
A family? True friends?
I was no liar!
But she said no,
Until I said,
Go out with me,
Before I’m dead!
I begged her!
I fell at her knees!
I kissed her hand,
Said “Pretty please?”
She agreed,
But just as a friend.
That was until the
Very end.
We started to talk
Her lips were red…
I asked her a question
And then she said,
“I’m just tired,
It’s nothing more.”
But how could
I know for sure?
Making sure I
Couldn’t miss,
I leaned forward,
Gave her a kiss.
She had liked me,
Despite all that scorn.
But now, I say
My feelings are worn.
In my life of misery.
My life of woe.
For now, my fancy
Is my foe.
The times were good,
The times were nice.
But now my heart is
Cold as ice.
I love no more,
I couldn’t care less.
Except within
My emptiness.
Where I will crawl
When times are bad,
And remember those
Mem’ries had.
There you go! I don’t really like this as much as my other poem, ‘They Told me Not To’, but I submitted it anyways. The really weird thing about this poem, though, is the stages it went through. First it was a Ron/Hermione poem (called ‘You’), but it was too short, so I decided to do an AU on Voldy’s feelings for his old girlfriend (called ‘Battle’, which eventually morphed into this! Funny how that works…
