And Yet

I have killed people

I have tortured, physically

And mentally

In ways her young mind cannot

Imagine

And yet she loves me

I have lied

Murdered

Driven people to true

Insanity

And yet she loves me

I killed Albus

I killed Lily

I killed Fred

And I killed

Many, many more

And yet she loves me

She is naïve

And unblemished

And…beautiful

I am old

And scarred

And…horrible

And yet…

She loves me.
