Death Wish

Note: Though this is a Merry Christmas, the following may contain angst. Bwhahaha...


|+| Death Wish |+|

I wanted you dead Potter.

I wanted you to rot in hell.

I wanted those emerald eyes to stop gazing upon me,
trying to capture my very soul.

I wanted you dead.

Every time I fell my glance at your eyes, I wanted you dead.
Every time Snape insulted you, my friends mocked you,
I taunted you with every opportune moment...
I wanted you dead.

While we were fighting in the hallways, pushing against
one another, professors tearing us apart, students
staring at us with bemused expressions on their faces,
our wands alight with kindred sparks and flame.
That glorious connection we felt.
I wanted you to suffer.

Whenever we talked to one another,
cooly yet openly, those emerald eyes searching mine
for answers on life, love, how to conquer me.
Reavealing my heart, exposing my weakness to the
wizarding world.
I wanted you in anguish.

As we laughed and joked, astounding our peers
and our professors, amusing Dumbledore
and horrifying Pansy and Hermione. When we shared
flasks of pumpkin juice as we layed down by the banks
of the lake, relieved our exams were over.
I wanted you to feel pain.

Once, as we observed thr skies from our solitary spot,
near the forest (remember?) as I kissed you on the cheek,
slipping my arm around your waist. How you responded
by cupping my cheek with your hand and telling me
how much you truly loved me.
I wanted us until death do we part.

How we made nightly visits to one anothers dormitories.
Holding one another in yearning for contact. Passion
burning crimson in our faces, the fiery kisses placed upon
our lips, our skin, how we soon realized our destiny.
Or what we thought was destiny.

But now you are gone, given the wings of an angel
and flying into the sun. All because of me.
My desire for your death, even while in love. You gave
me an entirely new life Harry, though it stayed the same.
You gave me everything I wanted, yet I was poor.
You were all I saw, yet I was blind.
My heart was warm for you, yet my heart was turned to stone.

I wanted you dead.
