Souls intertwined by shared dreams, desires.
Minds joined by shared greed, ambitions.
A need for stimulation, a challenge to fill his time.
He could offer that and more,
A quest for glory.
Would he forgo his closest bonds,
His kin, to pursue a dream,
A mad and heartless desire?
Blinded not by fear or acquisition,
But by love.
Entranced by a soft voice,
Smooth blonde hair,
And the lifting of responsibility from strong shoulders
Onto a tortured, sleepless family.
I have felt love's obsession,
Overlooked the faults of the one I adore
But in doing so only revealed my own fatal flaws
So I do understand, Albus, I do.
That you must live with the bloodshed caused in your name,
And I must live with my own eternal suffering,
Where I am the only victim.
