Haunted


[A/N: THIS IS NOT A POEM. IT'S A MONOLOGUE. Thank you. =)]

Haunted I am by dementors
Their cruel, shriveled hand, decayed and scabbed
Their face, no eyes, but a jaw with wheezing breath
A jaw with a terrible fate, to kiss.
To suck out the soul of the victim
Feeding on pleasure, happiness, joy
Reducing the world to an empty silence
Yet they hear not of what I hear
I hear my parents' cries.

Lily and James Potter
Murdered so cruelly by Voldemort
I, alone, has escaped.
At the price of my mother's life, for twelve years
My father defending me, warding the Dark Lord off
I can hear him laugh
How can he have no heart?
No mercy, no pity, for what he has done?
Is he not haunted for what he has done
And wanted to do?
Is he?

Scared of dementors forever
Taunted by Draco Malfoy
But as I have learned before,
My parents' love, their sacrifice,
Will protect me forever.
