A/N: This is my second poem, lol. It was written for the writting course on Third Floor (check the link in my profile :))

Summary: These were Sirius' thoughts in the moment he was leaving Grymmauld Place to live with the Potters.

Black Inside My Heart

When the night comes it is all black;

Black like the shadows of fear on a tormented heart,

Black like shattered dreams and souls ripped apart.

I feel the lack…

The lack of bright light

In the middle of the cold night.

--------------------------------------------

And I fear the darkness outside.

I fear the unknown

Beyond the depths of that dark pitch black;

That black from which I hide,

Although deep down inside

I know that those blurry shapes I see

Couldn't ever harm me.

----------------------------------------------

Yet I fear the nothingness hidden in the dim;

The cold, the dark void within

My veins and my soul,

Whenever the sun goes down

And dusk takes over the world.

-----------------------------------------------

I fear black and what it means to me…

The grief inside an empty heart

In lack of joy and glee.

A cold heart, dark and vain.

The mysteries behind an anguished soul

Drenched in Havoc and pain.

The chaos inside a maimed mind

Hollow, in wreckage and insane.

-----------------------------------------------------

And I fear to feel that way,

To have my dreams shattered one day.

I fear to feel empty inside,

To let myself go with the tide.

I fear to have my soul ripped apart…

I fear to feel black… inside my heart.

A/N: Hope you like it. Please, please tell me what you think about this poem. I'll be forever grateful :).
