Death Eater

Somewhere hidden in a cell

There is a self I once knew well

I will always try to hide

The Death Eater I keep inside

But even through my own despair

Others hope I will repair

I'm not sure they really get

The horrors I have seen and met

I try and try to keep away

The memories haunting day by day

People really cannot see

The sorrows that were caused by me

I take a defensive stance

When they say I need a second chance

I try to tell them of my shame

Of what I did for my own gain

Nobody fully understands

The deaths of others at my hands

So I don't see how they forgive

As I remember the life I lived

For on my skin there is a mark

That tells the story of my heart
