dear mama.
i just thought i would let you know that oliver and i broke up. he wrote to me today and told me that he had met someone else.
it's just the thought of you
in love with someone else
her name is emily, apparently, and she's very pretty. she plays quidditch and she's the seeker for the wimbourne wasps. they met after puddlemere flattened the wasps in a game, and i guess it was love at first sight.
it breaks my heart to see
you hangin' from the shelf
i knew that oliver and i wouldn't last forever. we were just too different. i mean, i'm just some nameless paper-pusher, and he's a star. i just expected it to end with a bang, not an emily.
waste my days (waste my days)
drown the ways (drown the ways)
maybe you can help me figure out what i did wrong, mama. i thought i was a good boyfriend-i tried to be there when he needed me, i was only a phone call away, and i always let him know i loved him no matter what. was i not funny enough? not caring enough? did i not say 'i love you' enough? or was i too much? did i try too hard and scare him off?
you'll never be a better kind
if you don't leave the world behind
i don't know when you'll get this, mama, because i'm not sending it. maybe someone will apparate over and see me and then they'll get you. i shouldn't think so, though. i'm not expecting anyone today.
there's nothing much that we can do
to save you from yourself
send my love to everyone, mama. tell them that i'm sorry and that i miss them.
your loving son,
percy.

percy belongs to jkr. so do molly and oliver. emily is an original
creation. the song used, "keep fishin'," comes off weezer's
maladroit and so belongs to them. recently, something very heartbreaking
happened to me, and as my train of thought usually goes, "hmm, i'm depressed,
let's kill percy!" i wrote this. i feel better now. ^__^
