THE POWER OF GOODBYE
Your heart is not open, so I must go
The spell has been broken, I loved you so
'There is nothing you can do . Nothing you can do anymore.' I told myself firmly. The room was dark and cold, just like my life at the present time. I slowly slipped back into my dreams, to prevent myself from crying all over again.
Freedom comes when you learn to let go
Creation comes when you learn to say no
In my dreams, I thought I was safe from the brutal world my life had become. I thought. A picture passed through my mind.
You were my lesson, I had to learn
I was you fortress, you had to burn
A group of friends, all smiling and waving happily for the camera. Carried away by their own cleverness, in love with the world - it had been perfect then.
Pain is a warning that something is wrong
I pray to God that it won't be long
They were my best friends - are? Are they or were they? That night of Graduation we had all been so happy - no more strict professors, no more slimy Slytherins. We were off into the world at last, had been offered jobs as Aurors, and had taken them.
There is nothing left to try
There is no place left to hide
There is no greater power than the power of goodbye
The 6 of us were so close, so close we had been more family to each other than our parents were. But what had happened.....?
Your heart is not open, so I must go
The spell has been broken
I loved you so
After Graduation, my best friend got married, I was going out with a the best girl in the world, and my other best friend got engaged. We thought that our lives were too perfect to ruin. And they had been up until then - aside from me being a werewolf. We weren't even worried about Voldermort - much.
You were the lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress
But then Voldermort ripped out my heart and shattered it onto the floor. My best friend and his wife were murdered - by my other best friend.
There is nothing left to lose
There is no more heart to bruise
There is no greater power than the power of goodbye
He was thrown into Azkaban after murdering my friend and 12 others. My girlfriend died in a dueling accident, and the murderer's fiancee went into hiding. She just - left.
Learn to say goodbye...
There is nothing left to try
There is no place left to hide
There is no greater power than the power of goodbye
All my friends were dead, or gone. I just pushed myself through the last 2 weeks, trying not to think about it. But I couldn't. There had been a funeral for my best friend and his wife, but I almost couldn't go. I had been asked to say a few words, but all I could say was ' I loved them so much..." before I burst into tears.
There is nothing left to try
There is no place left to hide
There is no greater power than the power of goodbye
After the tears, there had been anger. Anger at everything. Why Sirius - Why Lily and James, why Peter, why.......
Learn to say goodbye....
