Characters: Sirius Black & James Potter - Friendship
Prompt: Shadow


&& being without him
was something he'd never fathomed
because it was just too strange
it was like he'd a l w a y s been there

just like his shadow.

:-:

Something just c l i c k e d
the first time they met
and in flash
they were brothers in arms
or rather brothers in p r a n k s

&& it's just so hard to be alone now
because he is neverever coming back
&& it k i l l s him

it's all his fault.

:-:

Nothing had ever kept them a p a r t
Not ever since they had met
&& it seems so strange
because it's like they are soulmates
but that implies lovers

:-:

&& of course he loves him
more than a n y t h i n g
that's why this is so hard
because surely he can't be gone

surely someone has got it wrong.

:-:

He blames himself
but he can't find the tears to shed
he's a n g r y
no furious
&& it's torture
knowing he could have prevented it

:-:

So he feels a little c r a z e d
&& his heart aches
for him

because it knows he's not there.

:-:

&& he wants to cry
&& he wants to s h o u t
&& he wants nothing more
than to scream
to tell him to come back

He knows that he won't though
he can't reverse death
&& t e a r s flow on his face finally

he just can't stop them.

:-:

The g u i l t seems to crush him
&& the hurt
well it stings
there are so many memories
hurting his head

:-:

It's so hard right now
because he's always been there
from the very b e g i n n i n g

just like his shadow.

:-:

So he w h i s p e r s his name
with brotherly love
just hoping he can hear him
hoping that he knows
just how sorry he is.

:-:

&& he doesn't know
how to c o p e
nothing is ever the same

without James.


I really hope you enjoyed it.
