Did you think of me that day,

the day you willingly threw your life away?

When you ran into that forest,

Being that damn hero

That I fell in love with,

did you think of me at all?

You said you loved me

then you left.

And I understood

you had to fight,

but then you gave up

one stormy night.

You ran,

for the greater good.

Words that had been drilled into your mind,

a sacrifice

yours.

You stood before that evil man.

Straight backed,

wand in hand.

Yet as he said those fatal words,

you didn't move,

stayed still as stone.

And as you hit

that forest ground,

you did not utter

a single sound.

you did it for me,

you did it for us all.

But how could you have been such a fool?

To think that if you died

things would be alright,

you just gave us motivation to fight.

You came back

from deaths door.

Saved us all

my idiotic hero.

And now you tuck our children in bed

and kiss the top,

of their drowsy heads,

and they say

'I wanna be just like dad.'

But when Daddy was younger

Daddy was bad

he left mummy

for the greater good

At least he came back

Like she knew he would.
