Harry Potter belongs to JRK.
Many thanks to Anthropomorphichybrid for the insights, recent revision as well as spending time on it. :)
The Moon cast a splay of shadows and light
Defining a shadowed figure, calmly sitting upright,
Beside her lay the man who made her years worthwhile
With his gentle cadence and loving, well worn smile.

Yes. She had everything that she had always wanted.
Doting husband, beautiful babies, a marriage oft vaunted
Yet, she ached for a cruel grey gaze and a taunting smile
That sparked her ire and swiftly riled
.
.
A war of strong minds and iron wills,
A rangy form perched on window sills.
An acerbic wit a caustic snide,
Persuasive warmth on her right hand side.
.
.
She was not mooning nor was she lovelorn.
She wondered if he regretted being forsworn.
Their thread of destiny was forged through fire,
Yet it was too brittle to withstand his desire.
.
.
"Choose" she whispered, broken and weak,
He was gone with a kiss to her widow's peak.
At every turn, corner and alley did she seek,
Years seemed to have passed though it was but a week.
Her memories softened, dimmed and faded to gray
But sometimes, her traitorous mind would stray.
.
.
A touch rippled through her minds lake
Her gaze found her husband, sleepy but awake.
"You can always worry tomorrow" said he.
Mourning sadly, she ached for what could never be…..
A|N Voila. This was what came to mind after reading one of Lady Rhiyana's Draco-Ginny one shots...
Do let me know if it's good.
