Hey guys! So this is my first attempt at tragedy and a song-fic...Jay Sean's "Lights Off" is one of my favorite songs and while I was listening to it today, I just knew that I needed to write something. (If you guys have never heard the song before, go youtube it right now!) So being the obsessed Dramione fan that I am, tada! It's short, but I think that's what makes it more effective.
This is definitely not my best work, and I kind of rushed, so please give me some feedback! :)
A brief summary: Hermione Granger was murdered (I'm sorry!)….Draco Malfoy has just avenged her death. Well, this is kind of dark. Haha. This idea is also probably overused, but here's my take on it.
Disclaimer: Hermione doesn't die in the series, and Draco doesn't kill. Therefore, I probably don't own Harry Potter. ;) I obviously don't own the song. I wish I did though.
"Lights Off" - Jay Sean
Rating: T
Genre: Romance/Tragedy
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
It's you that I'm missing
There was blood everywhere—on the walls, on the wet tiles, on his hands.
It's like my brain is wired up
And there's a glitch in my system
The knife in one hand dropped to the floor with a deafening clang. His bloody hands shook as he reached up to fist his blond hair.
You're like a drug
And now my blood won't stop itching
I'm in critical condition
Someone let me out of this prison
He turned away from the corpse lying a few feet away and looked into the mirror. Lifeless gray eyes stared back at him. With a strangled cry of anguish, he shattered his reflection with the fist that was tainted with another's blood.
It's like my mind is playing tricks on me lately
You're dead.
I could've sworn that you are still my baby
You're gone.
I'm on a merry-go-round, going around
Driving me crazy
I couldn't save you, but I've finally avenged your death. I wasn't meant to be a murder, but I killed the bastard for you.
That's why it feels like
Losing you is like somebody
Just turned all the lights off
But I'm still broken.
Won't somebody, anybody
Please just turn the lights on?
I don't know what to do. I don't even have the courage or the will to take my own life.
I won't take one step
I can't see what's coming next
Are you watching me right now?
Losing you is like somebody
Just turned all the lights off
But I can't see you.
Can't see at all, at all, at all
Can't see at all, no, oh no
Can't see at all, at all
'Cause it's like somebody
Just turned all the lights off
I've forgotten how to feel; my heart died with you. I don't have anymore tears to shed.
I don't understand how one minute
I just had it all now
The closed door flew open with a bang. So they're here already? I didn't lock the door; I never thought about escaping. You wouldn't want me to become a criminal on the run. And in all honesty, I'm tired.
Now I can't reach you 'cause I'm tied up
With this straight jacket on
They think that they're restraining me, but I'm the one giving in. Isn't it ironic how I'm going to be sent to Azkaban for something so justified?
I can't breathe, breathe, breathe
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Breathing has become torturous. I don't remember what you smell like, and I hate myself for it.
I can't see, see, see
See, see, see, see, see
Seeing has become painful. I'm starting to forget what you look like, and I hate myself for it.
That's why it feels like
Losing you is like somebody
Just turned all the lights off
I'm not even sure who I am anymore.
Won't somebody, anybody
Please just turn the lights on?
You were taken away from me ten years ago.
I won't take one step
I can't see what's coming next
And I'm still lost in this dark abyss of nothing.
Losing you is like somebody
Just turned all the lights off
The happy memories I have of us together are beginning to fade.
I can't see at all, at all, at all
Can't see at all, no, oh no
Can't see at all, at all
'Cause it's like somebody
Just turned all the lights off
I don't want to forget. They're what I live for.
Used to see my world in color, girl
But you're no longer here to remind me.
When you left me it's like my world turned gray
Turn my winter into summer, girl
Why won't you help me turn night to day?
I'm suffocating.
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't think at all
And I can't do anything about it. When was the last time I wanted to smile? I can't remember—just like everything else.
Honestly it feels like I ain't living no more
Living is a burden.
Can't say no more, can't see no more
I have nothing left. You were my everything.
Baby, that's why it feels like
Losing you is like somebody
Just turned all the lights off
I'm wasting away in this dark cell.
Won't somebody, anybody
Please just turn the lights on?
Without you by my side.
I won't take one step
I can't see what's coming next
We promised to grow old together.
Losing you is like somebody
Just turned all the lights off
And yet you were only twenty-five.
Can't see at all, at all, at all, at all
Can't see at all, no, oh no
Can't see at all, at all
'Cause it's like somebody
What's the point in living when I'm not even living? I think that I'm finally ready.
Just turned all the lights off
There is blood everywhere, but I feel relieved—content, almost. You told me with your last breath that you love me. That you want me to live on. But I'm only living when I'm with you. We'll be together soon, Hermione.
Um, okay. Please tell me how bad/mediocre this is...I'm always looking for ways to improve! By the way, who loves Jay Sean as well? :D
If anyone is interested, I can take some song-fic requests. Just tell me the name and artist of the song, and I'll see what I can do. :) I'm not sure if you guys will want to though haha. This is all depending on whether you guys like this or not! ~Claudi Skies
