HarryPotter and the Second War
Chapter One
Harry Potter stared out his window at the suburban street that lay before him. This was his last summer at Number Four, Privet Drive. And it had been wrought with sadness, great anger, and dread. Once again, his sleep was filled with countless visions of death. So many people he had been close to had been killed in the machinations of Lord Voldemort's plot. First his parents, then Cedric, then Sirius, his godfather, the closest thing he had known to a father. And now finally, Dumbledore, Harry's mentor had been murdered by that foul snake, Snape.
The thought of Snape was another that caused Harry great restlessness. If only D
I feel the sun
Bright Warm Heat
Blister my skin
Cleanse my soul
I accept it
Penance for my transgressions
Absolution for my sins
Cleanse my soul
Searing heat
Raging fire
Envelop me
Break me away
A warm breeze envelops me
Wraps me deep inside
Charring my skin with black ash
The physical embodiment of my misdeeds
The blackness burdens
Weighs down my soul
It is a part of me
It is who I am
The breeze shifts
Now its cool
The ash is lifted
I feel cleansed
Free
Pure
Safe
Cleanse my soul
I used to think I was different
Noble
Stronger of character
But I thought wrong
But I should have known
Not knowing was the sign
High opinions of myself dwindle away
More and more as days go by
I see now I am no different
Than the average person
Incorruptible
I'm corrupted
Altruistic
I'm egocentric
Genuine
I'm a phony
I used to think I was different
Now I know better
I'm just as sad and pathetic
As what I tried not to be
What is my life?
Nothing more than
A never-ending string of
Failures
Disappointments
Loss
Upsets
No matter what
It's always the same
I try and change
I live my life well
I help
I save
I better myself
I am good
But are good intentions nothing more
Than intentions?
Will all my efforts be in vain?
Will I ever have a real future?
Why is nothing ever like it should be
They tell you that if you live a good life
Then you shall be rewarded
But that's never how it works
Or am I an anomaly?
Set here to be tormented
To even the crowd?
To make up for all the happiness?
Is it my destiny to be miserable?
To feel nothing but
Fai
I know the meaning
Or lack thereof
I know that it means nothing
I know that it will never be
More than an illusion
I know why it happened
There's no mystery here
But still it would never stop me
From holding you so dear
A part of me doesn't care
A part of me doesn't want to
A part of me says it's false
A part of me just looks at you
A part of me just smiles
It may mean nothing to you
But to me it means the world
Yes it will never mean more
Yet it just felt so good
Holding you in my arms
The warmth that spread through me
Was not the weather that night
It was just that happy feeling
Of holding you so tight
I know it canno
Where is the light?
I cannot see it anymore
It used to pour through
I cannot see it anymore
My days have grown dark
Where is my light?
I cannot find my way.
Where is my light?
Long since past are the days
Sunny, bright, carefree
No longer will it be
Sunny, bright, carefree
I sit in the cold dark
I cannot feel the warmth
My world is all a blur
I cannot feel the warmth
Where is the light?
I cannot see it anymore
My days have grown dark
Where is my light?
Long since are the days
Sunny bright and carefree
I sit in the cold dark
I cannot feel the warmth
Where is the light?
The inviting cover of darkness
The comfort of sleep
Bereft of that luxury
No longer an option
The visions which haunt me
All stem from my dreams
To sleep is to see them
And that cannot be allowed
So I wake
Forever
I cannot sleep
I'm not strong enough
I cannot fight what I see
So I sit here
Watching time pass
Don't dare let my eyes close
It'll be much worse that way
This sleepless torture is penance
To make up for all I've done wrong
The people I've hurt
The lives I've ruined
I accept it
A life without sleep is better
Then a sleep without rest
So I remain
Awake
Forever
Where do you turn
When you're sinking in deep?
Deep into despair
Like a sinking bog
All threads of hope
Too far to reach
Save one
Only one
But that one now too
Drifts further away
And I sink deeper and deeper
With no hope for salvation
Where do you turn
When you're sinking in deep
And there's nowhere to turn
You are all alone.
I walk down the streets
I see smiles around me
I wonder when will it be me
Don't I deserve happiness
Don't I deserve truth
Don't I deserve life
I sit here alone
Alive only barely
Waiting, waiting
Don't I deserve someone
Don't I deserve somewhere
Don't I deserve that feeling
I see the smiles of the people
As they pass me by
No one notices the slip
I fall
I stare out the window
Cold and silent
And I see the stars
Bright
Free
Breathtaking
And I sigh to myself
They are all I want to be
And more
Power
Energy
Pure
How I would wish
To be the stars
To free myself from
Pain
Fear
Loneliness
Humanity
I feel the tempo
The rhythm in my head
Beating faster and faster
I cannot believe what happened
How could I do that
It beats on
The fear arrives
Suffocating
Intoxicating
Steady, Steady
I turn, whirling
Everything a blur
Nowhere to run
I stumble
The beat dies
An ending pulse flares
To beat one last time
Before the end
I see it
I feel it
I lose it
She is there
Always there
Never there
She talks about him
It kills me inside
How happy he makes her
I wish it were me
Never more
Never less
Never anything
I try to show it
I try to change it
Nothing works
Nothing saves
First thing I think
Last thing I think
Everything I think
It shouldn't be
It should be
It always will be
It never will be
