When Solitude Is Not Enough
A HariPo freeverse piece

Note: The Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling, not to me. This pairing is a Mew and Mor's Weird Pairing, which you may find in the M&MWP forum (see my profile for details). Check out and join the forum FUN! Read, review, and enjoy!

"Walk with me
Open your sensitive mouth
And talk to me
Hold out your delicate hands
And feel me
Couldn't make any plans
To conceal me"

He's come a long way
(& has nothing to show for it)
The torture
guilt
&& anguish
(which are still there)
They pile up,
like a quiet
S…N…O…W
You arrive &
it's not chilly
so much as
uncomfortable
because his heart has melted into
slush
& there's so much to slog through
His dark past
A horrid home life
Being unsure of himself
(oh, & following the Dark Lord, of course)
It's taken a l_o_n_g time
for him to
u-n_f-r_e-e_z-e
But it's okay
Your hands
(though small & thin & notverywarm)
will slowly melt that
ice sculpture in his chest
(called a heart)
Forget about all the bad moments
in your life
If anything,
f!o!c!u!s
on how both of you have lived the same life of
trial&error
(though you attract more errors for results)
&& see
that some good can come from bad
Because g~o~o~d
is all you see in his
(purportedly)
cool, gray eyes

Oh, Drucy is a darling pairing, though I adore Drolly, too. :3 But this is so nice, kind of a companion piece to "Kindred Heart, You're Not Cold." I strongly suggest you take a peek at that oneshot, too, if you can.
Thanks for reading, and please review!

Thanks as always to Morghen for beta'ing! XD
2017 note: I called this a "companion piece" back in 2010, but I think it reads more like the FV version of the oneshot.
