To You, From Me
I am sorry.
The first ten years were lonely.
The first ten years were painful.
Fighting, yelling, hitting is okay.
Crying in the corner is my first memory
But then I met you.
You taught me how to love,
You taught me to trust
For once in my life, I felt okay.
Your smile, your laugh
Like a ray of sunshine to me
You were my light in the storm
The eye of the hurricane
My lifeline when I was about to drown.
When things got rough you took my hand
And you led me home.
You made me vulnerable
But it made me strong.
I feared so much that you would hate me
Raised how I was,
I had no choice.
But you accepted me, you collected me
Stitched together the seams in me
That I thought would forever be torn.
Every memory we shared together
Is here within my heart
And I am sorry for the price you paid
You paid for my mistakes.
In a flash of green, you hit the ground
Because you were in his way
And when I found you, lying there
I held you in my arms
But you were gone
I fell to my knees
And I cried.
I am broken beyond repair
But I seek redemption.
Now I will protect your son
And someday I may die for him
I see you in him, every day.
I am sorry.
…
To James, from Sirius.
To Lily, from Severus.
