"Shards of Broken Glass"
In memory of Padfoot/Sirius Black
by aZn iD0L

"Harry remained quite still for a moment, then hurled the mirror back into the trunk where it shattered. He had been convinced, for a whole, shining minute, that he was going to see Sirius, talk to him again…"

The clock ticks
And time flies by
I close my mind
I close my eyes
And I can't see clear
I've lost my way
Can't anyone hear what I've gotta say?

"'There's nothing you can do, Harry…nothing…He's gone.'"

I just don't know how to say goodbye
But I can't lie
These shards of broken glass
They cannot pass as just another mirror
It's come too fast
But it's no dream
Things can't be the way they seem
These shards of broken glass
Fell too fast

"…There was a terrible hollow inside him he did not want to feel or examine, a dark hole where Sirius had been, where Sirius had vanished…"

I thought life was gonna be perfect
Then you left
And I learned the secret
Of why these things are happening
Now nothing is right
But I can't give up this fight
Why does it seem that I will never win

"'He will not come back,' repeated Nick quietly. 'He will have…gone on.'"

I just don't know how to say goodbye
But I can't lie
These shards of broken glass
They cannot pass as just another mirror
It's come too fast
But it's no dream
Things can't be the way they seem
These shards of broken glass
Fell too fast

"It seemed to take Sirius an age to fall. His body curved in a graceful arc as he sank backward through the ragged veil hanging from the arch..."

I don't understand why you went away
I don't know why you couldn't stay
But now I know it's not your fault
Things just didn't work out
I still miss you everyday

"'SHE KILLED SIRIUS!' bellowed Harry. 'SHE KILLED HIM—I'LL KILL HER!'"

I just don't know how to say goodbye
But I can't lie
These shards of broken glass
They cannot pass as just another mirror
It's come too fast
But it's no dream
Things can't be the way they seem
These shards of broken glass
Fell too fast

"…End it, Dumbledore...Death is nothing compared to this...And I'll see Sirius again..."
