HOW DO YOU….?

A/N: this poem is about Harry's overwhelming guilt after Sirius dies in OOTP. He feels well, guilty and sad and is wondering how Sirius might be feeling at this moment. Even though he hardly knew him he still was the greatest thing that ever happened to Harry and he is very grateful for all he had done. So yeah, that's it! Hope you like. Please leave a comment, toots!

How do you say goodbye?

How to someone who was never there

But when they were magic erupted everywhere

This person said and did so much

They promised the world to you- how do you let that go?

I didn't have the world like you promised yet I don't feel upset about this

How do you stop thinking about the little time you had?

Of the tiny moments that made you glad?

Glad to have this person in your life?

How do you step into each new dawn?

How do you laugh like other children when this person left you?

How do you move past his mistakes and your own?

How do you go on?

How do you put the past behind you when the past is so eager to catch up with you?

How do you breathe each new moment knowing he's not doing it at the same exact time? How?

How do you forget your mistake? Your deadly mistake?

When each person wants to chase the sun and all you want to do is run?

Run away from the light?

Every moment was precious with you and I feel I cannot go on.

Why do these things keep happening to me? Why did I expect this to last?

How do you fly without wings, fly without the breeze…?

I miss you, I miss you so much.

Am I really doomed to get used to this?

How do I forget you? The help you gave was more then I could ask for.

I'm sorry, so sorry you've gone away from me.

Away from a life you could've led.

I'm sorry you won't ever see me go on (if I can).

How do you forget such sorrow?

How do you stop thinking of your mistake?

How do you keep living each new day?

How do you fight the tension inside?

How do you wipe away the tear stains?

How does your conscious regain?

How do I close without feeling pain?

You were the greatest miracle in my life even though you left so soon.

I can't help but think how you're feeling right now, I'm sorry for doing this to you.

Now I can't help but wonder- how- how did you say good-bye to me?
