You know it isn't right and doesn't make any sense

You know it's lethal and deadly and it can kill you

But it's what happened, and now there's not much you can do

There's not a why, or even a how

Somewhere between all that searching and battling

You accidentally fell for the enemy

And that's not how it was supposed to happen

You were supposed to fight and defeat

And be the heroine

But, it didn't happen that way

And it's the truth of the circumstance

But he is the dark lord and you are a muggle-born

And you know how he hates them

But oh he's so ambitious and vicious and powerful

And the madness in his eyes drives you crazy

And you raise your wand to cast a spell

For it's a war and you don't have a choice

And suddenly he makes an entry and you are stunned

By his grandeur and his power and the aura of his presence

He enters like a dragon, stealth yet full of power

And you just stood there mesmerized

But the war had to end, and it ended like it was to

And he perished and you could do nothing

But watch the love of your life fall down

And life will move on for it always does

And you would get married and have kids, maybe

But the imprint of this one love, lust, infatuation

Would always remain in your mind

And years later when you would see your husband beside you

You would wonder and wish if he were there and he were alive

And you were together, feeding each other lava cakes

On Christmas

But it's not possible, for he was the villain

And you, the heroine
