A/N - Okay, I don't like this as much as my other poem... I just wanted to get in the writing mood. I gess I'm not exactly in it right now. So this poem is going to be a little wierd... Oh well. Anyway, this is from Sirius's POV, just after he realized that Peter wasn't where he was supposed to be hidden. Right when he realized that Peter had betrayed Lily and James. Why can't I write any *happy* poems... Sirius's life doesn't seem too happy... Poor Snuffles... :'-(
I couldn't believe it
Peter was - not there
Not there.
Everything was right
except that
Peter was - not there
Not there.
No sign of a fight
No sign of a struggle
No sign that anything was wrong
But there was wrong
for there is no reason
None.
to desert the place
that was to
Conceal you.
Hide you.
Protect you.
Protect your friends.
None.
But for a traitor
Peter?
No.
No!
But ...
Peter was - not there.
Not there.
My heart screamed.
I covered my face with
my hands
My guilty hands
My hands that gave
my best friends
and
their blood
to
Him.
Peter
We trusted you.
We put our faith in you.
I put my faith in you.
Traitor.
How come you were
Not there?
Not there?
Not there?
