Last Moments
By *~A White Rose Petal~*

I'm running as fast as my feet would carry. I was trying to get away, trying to get Harry away. Thoughts of worry were evident on my face, I knew it, without looking into a mirror. I didn't need to. Was it really that hard to see that I was worried for my son? My husband?
You look behind you
See memories that please you
Time goes faster now
More worries too
I hear the man's laughter behind me. I knew what he was doing. He was killing James as much as I hate to admit it. Hate to admit it? Where did that come from? How are these thoughts coming so quickly inside my head when I barely even remember anything else that I want to all the time? Just a few minutes ago we were laughing and joking, now we'll be lucky if Harry gets out of here alive.
You look back to when you smile
You see now that you cry
You wonder where the good times went
Before this trouble entered your life
I heard him following me. I was in Harry's room now, trying to guard him from view. I knew that I was no shield for him though, there was no shield strong enough to keep that monster away from him. I started to get on my knees, doing anything to save Harry's life, even if it means taking mine.
Different problems enter
Old ones don't seem to leave
I should have listened
Things do get harder after you're a teen
I was begging this monster not to take Harry's life. I was saying everything I could think of!
"Take my life! Take mine instead of Harry's please! I'm begging you! Please!" I said quickly. He laughed again. The laugh that could send shivers down his spine. Sirius told us what he was planning to do before he did it. Giving the lock to Peter. PETER! Somebody I trusted. Dumbledore didn't know that Sirius changed the lock! What would happen to him?
Friends try to help
And some of them do
But others do the worst
They turn on you
Remus, he barely had anything to do at all with this! I wonder what will happen to him after this, what will the world even be able to bring him?
Slowly your last hours shortens
Turns to minutes
Turns to seconds
Turns to nothing,
He raises his wand and points it after me after saying that I was being foolish and that he didn't need anything from me. He just wanted my husband and son dead. That's all he wanted? Those two things are my LIFE! Why couldn't he just take mine and be done with it? That's all I ask but like he's going to listen to me. My sobbing comes down harder. As he raises his wand and points it at me. Saying that I had my chance and now I was going to pay for not taking it.
I knew what was happening
Flashing in front of me was my past
I knew the farther down it went
The closer it came to-
I felt the spell envelope me. It wasn't as painful as I thought it would be, but at the same time it wasn't painless. I felt my tears, they were burning my face as it slowly turned cold. I knew what it was. These were my last moments.

A/N: Depressing… ::sniff:: and in case you didn't figure it out before it was in Lily's POV. I don't think that it was that good though. I just put it on for you to read what I wrote. I did make the poem. I do NOT own anything else. Thank you for reading.
Sincerely,
