My Curse

With your smile you cursed me

With your intelligence you ensnared me

Dragged me into your world

A world full of self pity

A world full of self hate.

Always the victim,

Never the victor.

I never believed in fairy tale

Or prince charming

Yet theses are the qualities

You beg me to aspire to.

Ones that can never hold true.

There is no prince charming,

There never was

There never will be

Not without you.

Loving you is my curse,

A curse I did not ask for

Like you with yours.

Yet you throw me deeper

Never understanding

Never kissing me awake

From the despair

The consuming melancholy

The never ending nightmare.

I distance myself from you

hoping your distant presence

will wane the anger, hate

and yet love I hold for you

In till it is no more.

That is wishful thinking,

and lately

I have become good at that.


Authors Note: Yeah, I think it's safe to say that this is written before Tonks and Remus finally got together. I know that this is depressing, but I've been reading way too much Gothic Literature (for my course) than is good for any human being, so I'm sorry it's depressing.

Please review it makes me believe in all that is good and pure.
