Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again

The lake appears dead. The murky water is still and I lift my eyes to the pale corpse of the Giant Squid. The water around it is still thick with blood.

Has no one told you she's not breathing?

I turn my head to gaze at the ruins of Hogwarts… The only home I ever had, destroyed at last and I had helped. Oh Tom, did we have to? I stand, and my legs feel weak. The dust is everywhere, it's hard to see the sun through the fog-like dust and soil.

Hello I am your mind giving you someone to talk to
Hello

I did it all for you, love. I killed for you. We won the war, so why don't I feel victorious? Why do I not feel glad that everything if finally over?

If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream

I turn over a body with my foot. Tonks. In her hand, there was a splintered blood-stained wand. She had died defending the noble cause that she believed in. Did I believe in our cause? What was it really, Tom? Was this what you wanted?

Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken

I drop to my knees. My legs couldn't support me any longer. I close my eyes and scream soundlessly into the dusty atmosphere. Please, forgive me, everyone… I only did it because I loved him…

But didn't you love them?

Two tears drop from my misty eyes and splatter onto her hand.

Hello I'm the lie living for you so you can hide
Don't cry

A hand touches my hunched back and slowly rubbed my back.

"Don't cry, Harry… She didn't die in pain."

I look up.

"Tom…"

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping

"It's alright, Green-Eyes. They would understand," he says softly. "They can rest at last. They don't need to suffer any longer. The war is over, for them, and for us."

Yes, it's all over.

Suddenly, I pull him into a tight embrace and I sob in his arms.

I wail for the tragic past.

"It's over, love," he whispers with a quivering voice. "Let's build the future that they wanted for so long."

Hello I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday
