Warning: This is a Harry/Luna poem. If you don't like the pairing, don't read it.
This from Harry's point of view about Luna. I think the writing is kind of OOC for him, I'm not great at capturing characters voices. I hope it's okay. This is based on the fact that "Luna" means "moon" and the moon lights up that darkness. It's also a rebuttal to anyone who says Harry and Luna "bonded over death" and that makes the ship morbid.
She's the Moon:
Death is much too real
And life is much too short
I
must turn to desperate measures
Which should be last resorts
And
all that I can say now
Is that it isn't fair
While some can
avoid all the pain
For me it's always there
Two
undeserving victims
Murdered before my eyes
By the ones who
killed my parents
By the ones that I despise
Can't you
see I'm not a time bomb?
So don't tiptoe around me
You
should know I won't blow up
What am I supposed to be?
Do
you want me to be happy
With this darkness all around
In so
many different forms
It drags me to the ground
Do you want
me to talk to all those
Who don't know what it's like?
Who
have never lost a loved one
Or taken so many strikes?
The
voices they mean nothing
As they try to make me talk
Have they
every been tormented,
Isolated or mocked?
They'll be my
friends forever
And I know how hard they try
But despite how
much I love them
They've never seen someone die
But when I
thought there was no light
When I'd gotten down so low
A
light came down the hallway
And her essence seemed to glow
She
was so fun and quirky
But could be serious too
And I knew she
could relate to
All that I had been through
I realised that
she lived down
In the darkness with me
And yet she seemed just
fine down there
She always seemed happy
She was bullied by
her housemates
Students tried to make her fall
She had seen her
mother die
Yet she smiled through it all
So I asked, "How
is she happy,
When things are going so bad?
She should be
lonely all the time
She should at least be sad."
I love
my other friends so much
But they can't help me here
They're
not inside this darkness
They don't know about the fear
What
I need now is a lighthouse
Somebody to save my soul
Someone to
light up the darkness
Who can come and fill the hole
She
treats me like I'm normal
She will not overprotect
I am just
as sane as she is
So I know we can connect
She's so lively
all the time
She is almost childlike
She's carefree despite
everything
In death she is the life
She's the light inside
my darkness
She's the brightness in the gloom
Luna is a lot of
things
But mostly she's the moon.
