You're the death of me,

the part of myself

I can't set free.

Because I'm dangerous

and you know it,

but only on the outside.

I've become a peace-loving monster,

a level-headed killing machine,

an echo of a boy

who's grown to fear the moon.

xox

You're the signs

of every imperfection

(every last one,

and the list goes on and on),

of everything that is wrong about me,

every abnormality.

(When have I ever been normal?)

Sometimes, you make me want

to give up.

xox

You're my weakness,

the one thing

that will surely screw up

everything I've been working so hard for.

I have friends now,

but once they find out what you do to me,

I'll be back to myself again.

I've just been deceiving them all this time,

haven't I?

You make me someone different,

something inhuman.

xox

You're the reason

I am closer to them now

than I ever was before.

They know all about you,

all about me,

and they haven't

(they said they'd never)

turn away from me.

(But I've learned that

promises are made to be broken)

Just like I was made to be broken.

What have you done to me?

xox

You've made me into the monster

that I am today.

But that's the thing:

If you were never a part of my life,

I wouldn't be who I am,

and I don't know whether

or not

to be grateful

for all you've put me through…

A/N: Just a little something I wrote to get juices flowing a bit after seeing a gif-set on Tumblr about Remus. For the Freeverse Frenzie Competition.

Please leave me a review, especially to tell me something to write about next!
