Regrets- from the point of view of Petunia
Lily so pretty
I had to hear every day,
As a child on the playground,
That's what they would say.
Lily was smart,
And strong,
And kind.
It was sickening,
It made me go out of my mind.
Then she went away,
On the Hogwarts express,
Leaving me behind,
To clear up her mess.
I screamed and I yelled,
Said the unkindest things,
After all of these years,
The memory still stings.
I regret it all now,
Though I would never tell.
Ever since she died,
I've been nought but a shell.
I have her child now,
Too much but not enough.
Dursley is mean to him,
But all boys are rough.
I never quite realised,
Until it was too late,
That the way I treated him,
Was nothing short of hate.
Though I can never undo,
What has been done,
I'll do my best to remember,
He is still Lily's son.
Please Review! I would love to hear your thoughts, good or bad :)
