Just Kill Me, Please

There once was boy with a lightning bolt scar

He was an orphan, a murder escapee

Each night he would wait up to stare at the stars

To wish away his cursed reality

He was kept alive for the proper moment

Though tested at every turn

The product of a desperate atonement

Of a man he'd soon wish burn

Loved and hated by the changeable crowd

Even by friends betrayed

His silent actions pleaded out loud

His sanity slowly frayed

A Slytherin made Lion by other's hate

The truth to him came wrapped

And he prayed for the choice to abdicate

But already his future was mapped

As the battle raged on, he walked to the cover of trees

His mercy in black asked for final words

He merely begged, "Just kill me, please."

And it ended in the light of a killing curse.
