Disclaimer: As all sane persons, I too wish to have owned HP characters, but instead the brilliant JK Rowling does (and lets us so kindly twist her work in our heads)!

One Way Ticket


With the ashes and smoke,
my third cigarette burns to the filter.
Creasing with silver coloured eyes of my daydream.

I always took what I wanted.
" 'The Boy Who Lived;
The fulfillment of his desires'
Extra! Extra! Read all about it..."
You threw away your legacy.
Letting me love you;
controlling me in the end.
Sill, silenced;
under the weight of your frail body.
I waited.
I couldn't stop you.
Giving up was a true gift of yours
it was my lucky day.

With my one-way ticket,
I'm drowned out by the speed of this train
into oblivion of sunshine where I'm still rained upon.

I couldn't keep you Malfoy,
I didn't want to,
with your lack of will to stay;
to put me first.

Now,
mornings are fresh with nothing to do.
November's breeze
offers memories of last week's runaway heart.
Kissing strangers,
consuming strong beverages.
Falling into laps of aged adulterers;
virginal it sill remains.

The night dawns on a weeping heart;
it doesn't remember.
Whose lips were so distant?
Which lap's support was too fragile?
This organ doesn't belong
under strong, beer drenched gypsy attire.
Too weak to survive in the dirt of this bohemian city.

I light yet another cigarette.
You'd hate me for it.
Disappearing into the night.
One more regretted drink;
one step farther from you.
Poisons you'd never touch,
only shun me for.

Through dimness;
curtains of smoke,
your form takes a quick shot
of the oily alcoholic substance.
I know that tossed hair;
it gleamed under my fingers every morning as you awoke.
I've drowned in it endless times
while the blond silk absorbed all my tears.

I've reached you
making no mistake in assuming
that finally I'm your first,
only need.
You have to say it still.
And you did.

The familiarity of being consumed in your kiss
overwhelms me.
We'll need two one-way tickets back to bliss.
