Bellatrix Lestrange,

You just don't

Understand,

Do you?

You just don't get it,

Do you?

You think that it's

Love?

You think that monster,

Made of

Fear and hate and lies

Could ever be something

So beautiful

As love.

Well, you

Don't understand,

Bella.

It isn't.

That's only

Worship,

Fright,

Greed,

Thirst for power,

Anger,

And nothing more.

It's only

Ugly, ugly emotions

That burn up your soul,

And feed on beauty

(Just like those Dementors.

You would know, wouldn't you, Bella?)

And love is

So much more.

It is everything he'll never be,

Everything you almost were.

It's the chance

You didn't take.

It's the almost, maybe, might have been.

It's the world's

Biggest

What-if.

It's everything

You'll never understand.

Because

That's what you were taught

To do.

And you did it.

Love is only for some,

Bella, isn't it?

And it's a tragedy, Bella,

How close you came.

How it all

Came down to that,

But you just couldn't

Understand.

So,

Bellatrix Lestrange,

You're left without love.

Bellatrix Lestrange,

You'll never understand.


AN: Totally unrelated lyrics gave me inspiration for this, oddly enough. They were from "The Boy Who Lived" by RiddleTM, I think. See? If you know that song, you know how different this is from it. I suppose it might have just been the feeling the song gave... Whatever. I have odd writing habits, you can see. Sometimes I write about how everything is messed up because of her, and others I act like she should be pitied. Weird... I hope you enjoyed this freeverse. Thank you for reading.
