Title: Withering

Author: Me… Tristana a.k.a. le petit vampire dépressif

Disclaimer: regretfully, I do not own Lucius or any other HP's character. It's not fair but I guess that if Lucius knows what I usually do to him in my fics, he would have killed me. And I am not paid for this – who would like to pay for this… thing – or whatever you call it.

Summary: Something cheerful… Dealing with pink rabbits and singing flowers! What? You don't trust me? All right: this poem deals with death, mourning, sorrow, etc. (Told you, I am happy today! ) Narcissa died during the final battle. Lucius POV. (I think I am Lucius-addicted…)

Withering

Walking among corpse

I see no one but you

My beautiful angel

From heaven you fell

Your love for me destroyed you

To save me you offered yourself

To the warrant of a warlord

From your body he wringed your soul

Why did you have to sacrifice

Your life? I did not deserve this

I just wished you to live

Whatever it would have taken

I expect nothing from life

With you imprisoned in a marble grave

Love burned down to ashes

Sorrow overwhelmed my heart

It's thorn ripping at my soul

Like the thorns of the rose I hold

A white rose for the purest soul

And a black rose for a mourning

A scarlet flower for a living love

But love is no more

It died along with you

My life's now black and white

Snow and tears

Upon the mother earth have fallen

Pouring from the darkest skies

As blackness surrounded me

The white rose has withered

Purity by blood was stained

And alone remain the black rose

As your soul from earth arose

Leave this world of misery

Flying on the wings of a crow

Leave me now to my sorrow

There's nothing you can do for me

I wanted to die for you

But you were the one who died

This is not the way it should have been

Love, the rules you should have respected

Why does white turn to grey

Why does black replace grey?

Why does birth turn to death

Why does love have to die?

No answer comes from nothingness

No comfort comes from darkness

On my path to death guilt leads the way

Not the light of your eyes

The light faded away

Leaving blind in this hell

Blinded, but not to the horror of this world

I wish I died along with you

But it is not to late, my love

As the blade runs down my arms

I feel my life pouring out of me

And my soul rising from the sadness

The sadness of my living hell…

A hell where you are not.

Note: Do you want some tissues? Well, I would like to know if I still deserve to be qualified of 'depressing'. Please, send me a review… Or sniff I kill myself with the big butcher's knife of my dad… the author is on her knees, staring pleadingly at her computer's screen
