Disclaimers: If Harry Potter belonged to me, people would kiss my feet, and not JK Rowling's.
Breathe (revamped)
I cried, trying to lull myself to sleep with my sobbing. Time seemed to unravel slowly – the moment flew and yet they seem to remain painfully long at the same time, each quiet breath that I take stretched to what seemed like a long, desperate gasp for air. I listened silently as the clock ticked, the sound of its movements subtly ringing in my ear. Beside my bed the lamp dimly glowed, and though its bluish-green rays bounced off the walls, I find my inner self bathed in darkness, cold and alone, wary of the shifting of bed sheets as I lay tossing and wanting to sleep. Drowsiness never came to me, and I kept on breathing slowly – difficultly, throughout the night.
As I lay in bed I recall the many moments that had passed in the last seven years…and I hate it. I hate remembering. Each occurrence, good and bad, sweet and bitter, I relive in my dreams, and sometimes even during the day, when I sit out in the balcony adjoining my room to watch the leaves fall and paint the ground with their dying hue.
I desire to live. My heart pumps bloods through my veins, and I can feel and see the many things around me. I can move, I can hear, and yet I feel so cold and…dead.
Everyday I am dying, slowly wallowing into a pit of emptiness. I am dying of a horrible sickness – a malady of desperation and loneliness that I could not hope to have the remedy for. The cure for my condition – my only source of salvation – he is too precious for the world to give…
That is why I long for nothing other than a place to call my own…a place where I can sleep – an Elysium to rest myself upon and to slumber in impermeable silence…my very own heaven where I can dream and breathe happily and undisturbed.
I cried, trying to lull myself to sleep with my sobbing…
If only he could love me back…maybe then I could breathe.
Fin.
Confusing, isn't it? I wrote the original version last March (the day before my natal day)…I was kinda peeved that day. This 'edition' is dedicated to all the fans of Draco Malfoy, the dude whose POV is used in this useless twaddle.
Please leave a review! I'm in serious need of some criticism.
