Author's Note: Been a while, huh? Here's some Remusy angst for all you fangirls to om nom nom on. ~

Warnings: Angst, tragedy, character death.

I do not own Harry Potter, JK Rowling, Buckbeak or James Potter's frilly pink diary. None at all. Really. Totally. Yes.

Beneath the Darkened Skies

Beneath the sunlit skies of time
Sat only me, myself and I
Overlooking the memories we shared in the past
Memories of you
Before you died

And now I'm travelling through the grieving white snow
Wondering where had I gone wrong
Was it a mistake that I had been born;
Was it from me you suffered all along?

I'd like to walk by the burnt train tracks
Leading to the place I'd once call home
I'd like to think that I would always go back
To the only place I was free to roam

I look into the shops we used to go
Watching phantoms of the past go by
Wondering how long has it been since we all smiled
Before our happiness disappeared, shriveled up and died?

And I watch in silence as the ghosts of the past
Unwind and unravel my life
And I watch in silence as the war plows on
Cutting through everyone like a knife

As I sit here silent on the edge of the river
Wondering how long as it been since we met?
How long has it been since we all sat here
Watching the orange-hued sky of sunset?

It's been so long since we were all known as one
So long since we were all alive
Though I may be the last one standing today
Now forwards, I find so hard to strive

We were so young, so full of life
With such fulfilling futures ahead
Then darkness loomed and evil arose
And soon people we knew, one by one,
were dead

And as luck would have it, one of us died
Then another and then the next
And soon, fast enough, I was all alone
Left to wander the world perplexed

I wanted to believe I could make it
I wanted to know you're still here
But fate knew better, thought it time for me to see
That all along, in all my life
The only other person was me

I'd like to think you were never abused
Like to believe you weren't for granted
But only when you left did I see what I've done
Saw the person who took all, and only gave none

But now I just walk, towards where, I don't know
Be that as it may, I'll just walk along slow
Though I know it's hopeless, I always try and seek
Your footprints, right here,
in the grieving black snow.

Beneath the moonlit skies of time
Sat only me, myself and I
No one else, just the pitch black sky
No one else,
until I die.

Huzzah for procrastinating! I'd appreciate it if you leave a review, thanks ~
