Silent Goodbye
By jammie-Bro
Chapter 2
A/N: Tissues at the ready.. This last chapter is going to be sad. And v.
fluffy.
The paper silently fell from her grip,
And the tears from her eyes suddenly slipped.
Realisation refused to sink in,
The ache of her heart stabbed like a pin.
"Dear Harry, I don't know what to say,
But i'm packing my bags, I'm coming right away."
She bitterly laughs as the tears stain her cheeks:
Knowing getting there the muggle way would usually take weeks.
"Tell Ron to hold on, tell him not to stray,
Tell him he can't die 'till he hears what i have to say."
She quickly tied it to the owl whilst packing up her things,
As it gracefully soared away she wished that she had wings.
Apparating to egypt took almost a full day;
Going from country to country, wizards' customs checking her way.
She finally arrived at the hospital and rushed in to find
All the weasley family there, Harry at Ron's bedside.
"Ron, I'm sorry, forgive me, I didn't mean the things i said."
He returned the phrase, and in embarrassment, both blushed red.
"I've got something to tell you" he said, nervously taking her hand,
"You may not feel the same way, but i hope you'll understand,
I always had to wait in line,
Anticipating the day when you'd finally be mine
Although i can feel my heartbeat start to slide-
I want to live, I want you to be by my side-
To be my bride."
She could feel his hands falling from her grasp
His breathing was shallow, in agonised gasps.
"Ron, don't leave me, you know i'm in love with you,"
She said, tears welling in her crystal eyes of blue.
"Remember, 'Mione, I'll always be in your heart,
because.... I love you too.... have right from the start."
The boy closed his eyes and struggled a smile,
She knew she'd not see that grin again in a very long while.
Remembered images in front of them flickered past,
As the boy in front of her took breaths that were his last.
She watched the heart rate line go flat and instantly began to cry:
The worst thing that could happen to you is to watch your best friend die.
She'll never see his grin again,
Never watch him open his eyes,
She sits at the funeral
Weeps, breaks down, and cries.
For she'll never spend her life with him
Though he'll be with her every day
She'll be lonely when she's surrounded
And saddened, come what may
'Coz every day her heart
Will weigh down on her soul
'Coz she's lost the only man she ever loved
The one who made her whole
She could have redeemed it all
If they'd never had that fight-
That's the real thing that sits on her shoulders
Every day and night
She knows she's got to soldier on
Though every day she cries
She watches the coffin slowly descend
In it which he lies.
They all mourn the loss of the boy
Who'll never reach twenty-one-
He had his whole life ahead of him
But now he's been taken. Gone.
So always tell your friends and family
That you love them- say it today-
Because you'll never know
If tomorrow will be their dying day.

Author's note: I cried my eyes out when i wrote this. I was really in
tears over it. Maybe if it was another character I wouldnt have cried so
much, but I'm a big Ron fan, and I hated killing him. I really did. I'm
going to take the lyrics to that song out of chapter one, because a lot of
you (immensly kind) reviewers told me that it looked VERY out of place.
And when i looked at it again, i saw you were right. It did look very bad
there. So thank you very much to all of you for telling me. So what do
you think of this ending chapter? Please review and tell me. I was
(strangely) pleased when I handed the completed poem to one of my friends
for the once-over, and she actually cried, right there in the middle of our
English lesson. She told me I was awful for writing something so sad, but
it was very good anyway. So i was quite chuffed. Anyway, PLEASE PLEASE
review! I'd like to know whether or not to write more harry potter style
poems, or just to stick to stories. Oh, and did the rhyming scheme annoy
you, or was it okay?
Thank you very much for reading.
