I Wish

Sirius was dead.

I killed him.

As assuredly as Cedric

Whose eyes I watched grow dim.

~~~~~~~~~~

I have never cast the killing curse

Or used a knife against a friend

But I wash and wash and wash

Only to see my blood stained hand.

~~~~~~~~~~

My Parents

They did die for me

How many others did so too?

Oh how the blinded do now see.

~~~~~~~~~~

I am the chosen one

Marked by the Enemy

And still some think

That the Enemy is me.

~~~~~~~~~~

All I ever wished

And hoped

Have vanished

Like so much forgotten smoke.

~~~~~~~~~~

All I wish now

Is not to survive

But while my friends do

I wish to die.
