I feel like it's not even necessary that there's a disclaimer, because this one doesn't actually even mentioned anything HP related... oh well.
Disclaimer: Anything recognizable (good luck with that) that relates to Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling. Not me. Oogey Boogey is stolen from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Good time to mention it..
A/N: For the Freeverse Bootcamp. Enjoy!
Shadows
For just one second,
it seemed like everything was perfect.
With his arms around her,
holding her tight,
Whispering I love you
Oh-so-nice
But of course,
Nothing lasts
(Not even love)
And Poof!
He was gone.
Like a flipped switch
She was thrown
Into the abyss,
Tumbling
Down
Down
Down
As the walls closed in
All around
And the shadows whisper
"Now, it's just
You
and
us.
He's not there to
Protect
You from the
Things that go
Bump
In the night.
Oh, no.
Now that we're
Alone
The fun can begin."
Figures dance
Across blank walls
Taunting
Teasing
Forever out of reach
An eternal game of tag
Where only
Mr Oogey Boogey Man
Can claim the prize.
Not like she has a choice.
Turn it upside down,
One more time.
Snap,
he's back.
Begging on his knees.
Please.
All can be forgiven.
Then just like that
The shadows are gone,
Light filling corners,
But still it's shrouded in darkness.
A reminder..
They'll be waiting.
