Disclaimer If I owned Harry Potter, Sirius, Remus, Tonks and Fred would not be dead. I guess you can figure out the rest.
A/N: Well, this is a one-shot poem that I wrote about two days after Christmas. It's from the point of view of Harry just after Sirius falls through the veil. I have tried to clarify who is speaking at each time, but if there is any confusion please let me know. Oh, and if anyone knows how to get spaces between the stanzas, could you please let me know? I've tried double spacing but it doesn't seem to work. Thanks :) Also, I love reviews. So tell me what you think!
You fall behind the veil
I see the stunned look on your face
But I know that this is just some game
Even though you've vanished without a trace
Am I going crazy?
Or am I just in denial?
You're hiding behind the curtain
You'll come out after awhile
I wait and I wonder
Why is it taking so long?
Remus tries to tell me you're gone
But I know that he is wrong
I know that you're still here
I know you would never leave
You promised you'd always be there
And I know you would never deceive
C'mon Sirius, enough playing
You've been behind there for forever!
Okay, you've got me, I'm starting to worry
Come, we'll go home together.
SIRIUS! Why aren't you listening to me?
Tell me, what did I do?
SIRIUS! Please, I need you here
Please, not you too.
Sirius, they're dragging me away
Come; show them you're not dead
You would never just leave like that
There's been so much left unsaid
SIRIUS! I'm yelling for you
I'm screaming, my voice has gone hoarse
SIRIUS! I'm crying for you
I'm struggling with all of my force
"Harry" you breathe, soft in my ear
"REMUS, I HEAR HIM, I DO"
"Harry, he's gone" Remus replies
Why won't he accept it's not true?
Why would he lie to me, Sirius?
He knows how much you mean
You're my hope, my light, my strength
The only father-figure I've ever seen
Remus wouldn't lie to me
I know it; he's your best friend
But that must mean….OH GOD, NO, SIRIUS
No, this can't be the end
Sirius, I just met you
You can't be gone already
Sirius, I can't let you go
I know that I'm not ready
Why were you taken away from me?
Why is this always the way?
I know that it's my fault again
And I'll never forgive myself for today
"Remus, I can hear his voice,
The veil is flickering, see!"
"Harry, there's nothing there,
I promise, please, trust me"
He promises? What does that mean?
You promised you'd always be here
And now you've gone, I'm all alone
Promises just leave me with fear
I've tried to pretend, but I guess I know
That you're not here anymore
I know that if I called for you
You'd answer me for sure
But Sirius, what will I do
Without you I cannot survive
Sirius, please take me too
Without you I don't feel alive
"Stay strong for me, my cub"
Your voice whispers in my ear
"I'll try Sirius, I really will,
"But tell me you'll stay near"
"I promise, my cub, I promise
I'll be right here to the end"
"Don't promise me anything Sirius
On promises I can't depend"
"But I do promise, dear Harry
I promise to care and love
You parents and I in heaven
Will look down at you from above"
And somehow, even though it's a promise
I know that I can trust you
I know you'll care and love me
And guide me through everything new
Sometimes when I think of you
My heart goes as cold as ice
But then I think of those memories
Little, but they'll have to suffice
It always at night that I hear you clear
Coming from somewhere afar
"Harry, don't worry, I'm still with you
Just look for your dog star".
