Dedicated to the wonderful Siddy for agreeing with me about the fun of writing Malfoys. :)
Because Of You
One for sorrow…
Better left forgotten…
A beautiful disaster…
Because of you…
I was just a young boy
A little boy
But I watched you torture her
You hurt her badly and she cried on my shoulder
I was too young
You should have known better
You should not have trusted me
I could not cry or show pain
Because that was weakness in your eyes
I was forced to fake a sneer
To fake a sarcastic laugh
Like you
Every day for twenty years
You brought me up in your image
Power and money
Those were the most important things
Not love or friendship
Only power and money
That is what was important
I watched you die a little every day
You caused your heart so much misery
You pledged allegiance to a terrible man
Why did you do that?
It gave you neither power nor money
All it gave you was sorrow
But, then, you were always one for sorrow
It is your doing that I never step on cracks
I would rather walk on the road than step on a crack
But I never stray too far from the pavement
I learnt from you to play on the safe side
You said I wouldn't get hurt
You lied and I hurt more than ever before
Now that I know to work for the good
It's because of you
I will not be like you
I refuse to let myself be like you
I will not cause my heart so much misery
I will not lean on a little boy
Who is too young for his parents' pain
I will be a better father than you
Your teachings will not help me
Now I find it hard to trust anyone
Myself and all of those around me
I heard you cry every night
You cried yourself to sleep and you hurt her
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw the pain you were suffering
I hope you are happy that now I cry every night
For the same damn thing
I'm ashamed of my life
I've never done anything worthwhile
I'm afraid of life now
I try my hardest to forget everything
To forget my childhood memories
I have erected walls around my emotions
I don't know how to let anyone in
It's all your fault
You walked into battle that night
You were foolish, fighting with the wrong side
You thought he would protect you
You were oh-so-very wrong
She says you were beautiful
But I know that you were as damned as you seemed
Nothing more than a beautiful disaster
I watched you draw your final breath
I saw the flash of green light envelope you
Then you fell slowly back
Unseeing eyes gazing up at a new day
I took your wand and snapped it in two
It was like the crack of your rule
I left you lying there for someone else to find
You were better left forgotten
How did you like it? It was Draco, speaking of Lucius, if no one got that. Thank you very much for reading and I hope you can find it in your heart to leave a review.
