Blood spatters the ground beneath their feet
The warriors exhausted but they can never sleep
For every time they close their eyes
They see the place where danger lies
Through so much they have travelled ahead
When their feet were frozen and their bones were lead
When the world blew up like a house of cards
Their bodies impaled with a thousand shards
I struggle now through the debris and the rubble
Where the fires burn and the liquids bubble
They are dead, all gone, hidden away
From the long, hindered arms of yesterday
I wish with all that I have that the day before had not passed
And rather I'd wake, upright in my bed and my peace would last
My eyes would flick open, wide awake
Not filled with the horrors that I'd yet to face
"Hermione!" they greet me, hugging me tight
Glad that I have struggled to survive through the night
Their arms tighten around me, fear melting away
Never broken by the fear of yesterday
Harry smiles at me, holding my hand
While Ron holds me up because I cannot stand
Ginny beams and clings to me, my friend
While I sit and talk quietly, hoping peace will never end
I wake up now, sitting in bed
When my heart is heavy and my bones of lead
I sit here and write, for I cannot forget
Just what I saw but have not let go yet
I might have survived, but I cannot live
Because those that fought me I cannot forgive
I peer out my window on the beautiful beach
With the weight of the world clinging like a leach
The end of the world is upon me now
Because I know I must heal but I cannot fathom how
