Oh, Remus,
isn't it enough?
That once a month you t-r-a-n-s-f-o-r-m?
Change into something else?
(fullmoon/monster/bite)
Surely, that's enough bad luck for a lifetime.
But, Remus, sweetie, didn't you know?
Life isn't fair.

Oh, Remus,
you've fallen, haven't you?
You've fallen for your best friend.
(fallen hard)
Your best friend who will never want you back
because, he's Sirius Black
(shush, don't tell a soul!)
Because he's Sirius Orion Black
and he's whole, lively and perfect.
And, you?
You're just a ghost of a boy
marred by the self-inflicted scars of hatred for yourself.
(rip/tear/shred)
(claws/teeth)
Remus, darling, who would want you?

Oh, Remus,
life's let you down again, hasn't it?
(andagain,andagain,andagain)
One minute you were together (finally)
and you, Remus, you were stellar,
a supernova, unstoppable.
(together)
But now, your supernova's burnt out
(bang)
and you've faded into nothingness
and all you're left with is a broken heart and a patch of empty sky that used to be yours.
Because, Remus, sweetie,
he's gone.
And you're as chained to your cold, lonely flat
as he is to his cell in Azkaban.
And, only one question drips from your lips
(unanswerable/despair/goodbye)
Why?
