Disclaimer: not mine, simple as that


In public, you were hers

She clung to your arm, kissed you in the halls,

When all the time, your eyes on mine

She wore your ring, claimed you as hers

Glaring as if daring anyone to tell her differently

In private, there was us,

Tearing at each other hungrily

Calling out each others names in the heat of the moment

Both of us knowing that the next day would bring nothing new,

Nothing different, no sudden repentance, no abrupt change of heart

I would be hated by you, and you hated by me

We kissed and clung to each other, each desperate for different reasons,

With her there were chaste kisses and bored caresses, purely for show

With me you groped and grabbed, clung to

You had an urgency never seen by anyone other than me

No one knew you,

No one possessed you, no matter how they convinced themselves that they did

No one could understand the darkness behind your eyes, so stormy and deep

Full of lust, passion, looks only shown to me, in the darkness of empty rooms

After, we lay together, skin to skin,

My head on your shoulder, sweat mingling upon our bodies

Bushy brunette mingled with silvery blonde

You left me there,

Kept up appearances,

Gave me stolen glances across seas of people

I was the one closest to knowing you, but you never did let me in,

I was a but a release

And I knew this full well, but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt

Maybe you cared

But even if you did it would never have been anything

There couldn't have been, there was too much between us

On our last rendezvous you gave me something

Slipped into my hand in our parting kiss,

Hungry and passionate and feverish,

Trying to get our last taste of the other,

Knowing there would be no more chances

Then you left, sweeping out of the room,

Off to marry her, the girl who thought you hers,

As always expected of you

Later I opened your last and only gift to me

Something I wear even today

A simple pendant, a locket, the shape of a teardrop,

Simple and elegant, bearing a message inside

you were more, you were always more

I want to believe it

I want to have faith

But I know that you were never mine,

You never opened up,

I never saw all of you

I never got past the impassioned kisses, desperate embraces

Knowing, sensing you needed something,

What that was I'll never know

Only that I couldn't give it

There was a darkness, an emptiness in you,

That you fought so hard to cover up, but never could

Not completely

She never had you Draco

But then again, neither did I
