Harry starts to come to terms with the loss of his godfather Sirius Black. Set summer after 5th year.
Snuffles
Even when you were here
All around me
I missed you.
And now that you have gone
I have only been missing you more.
I won't lie:
There are still times
I blame myself,
Others as well,
Yet still my shame
Seems the greatest.
However now I understand
You were only keeping
A promise once made;
Keep him loved and safe
A promise you had been
Long denied the privilege of
Keeping true.
Now that you are gone
I make my promise to you:
The sacrifice you made,
The life you gave,
I will make it worthwhile.
Until I see you again
Behind that black veil
Until I say:
Hello, it's been awhile.
I'll keep my oath to you.
Harry
