Green Eyes
Your reflection
emeralds in his face.
Every day
the face of my nemesis
makes the memories
resurface.
Bitterness.
Resentment.
Pain.
Remorse.
Grief.
Loss.
Longing.
But most of all
regret
for all the could have beens.
In another time
I might have called him
son of mine
if not for that fateful day.
A careless word, it is my shame.
And then came Trelawney
my foolish report
sealed your fate.
My greatest mistake
I am to blame
I can never
forgive myself.
But I try to make amends
by protecting the survivor and his friends.
For the rest of my days
my sorrow knows no end.
I will never forget
your lifeless face
your empty eyes.
The terrible sight
of your extinguished light
and empty stare.
My worst nightmare.
My deepest despair.
I wish it was not too late
but I have accepted my fate
for the sake of your babe.
He may be the spawn
of my childhood's bane
but in him you will never fade.
I will get my revenge
on my true bane-
the betrayer who took your light
forever from my sight
Extinguished your life
and closed your eyes.
Irrevocably.
Hopefully
I will pay the debt for all what I have made
My silverdoe, my eternal love
can you forgive me one day?
In the eyes of your son
I see the ghost of your smile.
It is like the sun
rising to shine.
A light so bright
in the darkest night.
So still, for yet a while
I will try
to carry on as a spy.
Secretly
stand by his side.
For the boy with your emerald eyes
for the sake of your sacrifice
I will give my life.
And eventually
beyond the veil,
on the other side
Beyond space and time
we will reunite.
