A/N: This is a poem I wrote from Harry's POV before the final battle. Who is the reciever? Ron, Hermione, Ginny maybe? It's up to you. I hope you like it.


One Last Goodbye

I write this with a heavy heart,

For I think my end is near.

I wish for this letter to be passed on,

To the ones I love so dear.

My journey started many years ago,

I soon learned it was my destiny.

To fight a battle of hope and fear,

And let events carry out as they may be.

I have struggled through the years,

With many sad and restless nights.

This burden too much for one to bear,

Scared and alone when I turn out the lights.

I want to say thank you,

For all that you have done.

You were always right there beside me,

You learned what it is like to feel numb.

I cannot put into words, these feelings,

Of my deepest gratitude and regret.

I pulled you into this world,

A world of horror, cruelty and contempt.

We, together, made a stand,

You stand so tall and proud.

Fearless for you own precious life,

To save me, you would fall to the ground.

I have but one request,

You have to promise you will try.

For if I do not make it out alive,

I do not want to see you cry.

I do not want to see your tears,

I do not want to hear your screams, your pain.

Please celebrate my life instead,

No pearly streaks of rain.

Look up into the black night sky,

Because that is where I am going to be.

I promise you, I will watch over you,

Yes, yes, it is really me.

I just wanted to say I love you,

One last time for real.

It is hard living each and every day,

Not knowing which will be your last meal.

You have given me the greatest gift,

A gift of friendship, a gift of love.

I would never change a single thing,

Even when darkness surrounds me like a glove.

My cold hands are trembling,

As I write this letter with a quill.

My deepest wish to rip and burn it,

I am much too young to write a will.

So this is it, a last goodbye,

Time for us to fight and kill.

This is a letter not meant to be read,

And I hope it never will.
