A/N: If you haven't finished reading Deathly Hallows yet, I wouldn't read this poem. Bit of a spoiler's coming up.
We had this connection, as all twins do
But to us ours went a bit deeper than most, I know that that's true
Now I've stumbled into the darkest and emptiest of dreams
Where something that I believed in wasn't all it seemed
And it's hard to believe that my best friend is gone
This whole situation just seems so wrong
And if I could go back in time and change things, that's what I'd do
Because every time I look in a mirror, all I see is you
I got several reviews on how to make this better, so I rewrote it. I'm not going to delete the original in case you like that one better. But here's a new one. It's a lot different.
You were smiling
I kept thinking you were going to wake up
Jump up and laugh at the looks on our faces
And you just forgot to clue me in on this one
We got home an you weren't awake yet
I was cracking jokes because I thought it hid my pain
Only everyone knew that I was hurting
So nobody said anything
They silently left to tell the rest of the family
But I stayed behind
Your funeral was beautiful
I didn't have a speech
How could I explain that you were my best friend
Out loud?
But no one will hear this
With a blank stare I looked down at you
And with each 3 second blink
I expect my eyes to open to yours
Only...they wouldn't
But you were still smiling
Is that any better guys?
