DISCLAIMER: Harry Potter and the wizarding world belong to JK Rowling. I'm a humble fans and am making no money from this work.

This poetry was inspired by Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix. Especially by the chapters post-Sirius' death. What I wanted to portray here was Harry's sadness and grief.

~*Sinking*~

Hollow feeling it froze the time
As I watched you slipping away
Leaving me with my numbness behind

Voices and roars they became unheard
Fears and great waves they rushed unbidden
Words they turned to empty tears with no rhyme
Sad echoes they returned and came to play
Intensified by the scream that broke my window of mind

And as you were pushed afar by the callous hounds,
Into the depth of calamity that was forbidden,
I knew my ship of wishes would sink by and by...
...And now I'm sinking.
