Giver of Life

The world has shrunk
From something bigger than either of us
To this day, to this fight, to me and you.
Green light flashes, the harbinger of death,
Freezing the frantic motion surrounding us
And we are still, we are one.

I stand before you, a lion poised to strike,
In plain muggle clothes, ripped and torn,
Uncovered for the world to see.
You stand before me, a coiled confident snake,
Cloaked in night that swirls at your feet,
Masked in silver doom, unreadable.

I meet your eyes, black wells drawing me in.
Your life flashes before me,
Memories that Harry saw and never told.
I see your deeds, your temptations
And most of all, I see the reason that
You are not the traitor they have branded you.

It is then I realize, that all along
I wanted to believe in you, save you, free you
From this bondage you call life.
But then, I remember, Harry's face
His determination to make you suffer
For the pain your one act has caused.

You see my memory and we know,
The only freedom you will ever have,
Is in that warm place you want to go.
In our connected minds,
An image floats to the surface
Asking me to release you.

The green light, for once a giver of life
Arcs from me to you, illuminating
The frantic motion that draws me back
From me and you, from this fight, this day
To something bigger than either of us
The world explodes and we are two.


More fanpoetry. Nothing too particularlly disturbing this time, tho. Just a little character death, destruction, final battle, Avada Kedavras, you know, the usual.
