Avada Kedavra

How the years have tormented my poor soul

I walk, cold, lifeless and alone

Carrying the burden of my past sins

The pieces of my broken heart turned to stone

When love closed the door I turned my back on life

Now I am the slave of two masters

Unsure of which way to turn I retreat into my self

This cold, hard shell I call a body

The pain it feels is nothing

In comparison to the hatred deep inside

As fury contorts my face

Anguish twists my soul

How can one man walk this path alone?

I am not strong enough to live this life of deceit

And yet death eludes me

The eternal rest is too good for a traitor like me

There will be no so easy an escape

I am forever trapped in a nightmare I created

As evil consumes my soul

Darkness clouds my heart

But a small shred of hope lights up the gloom

I can feel his presence here on the tower

The son of a man I detested

He is the reason I live each day

It is his life I must protect

For he is the one who will vanquish him

The lord who's name I fear to speak

As I look down at the crumpled heap on the floor

I see the twinkle has faded from cold blue eyes

Replaced instead, by a pleading I cannot bear to see

The loathing on my face is not for the old wizard in front of me

It is for the man who did this to me

The one who made me join the darkest of lords

The one who killed my only love

The one who stands here now

With his wand pointed at our greatest hope in this everlasting war

That man

Is me

"Avada Kedavra!"
