I begin to accept that you're not coming back.
Seeing you fall through the veil,
with a shocked and surprised look on your face.
Myself, running down the stairs and toward the dais,
shouting your name desperately.
My cries of despair,
then I realize you won't come back; that you are...
I still shudder to say it...
Dead.
Lupin holds me back, even though both he and I
know you're not coming back.
Bellatrix runs past, up the stairs;
I break free, determined to seek revenge,
determined to avenge your death.
But alas,
she gets away with Voldemort, at the end of my struggle
with the evil Dark Lord.
I go back to Dumbledore's office.
He tells me what he says he should have told me
five years earlier.
He tells me about the Prophecy.
He explains everything to me.
I've felt separated from everyone ever since
that talk with Dumbledore.
Knowing that my life will either begin or end in murder,
knowing in thed end that either I kill Voldemort, or he kills me...
neither of these are easy to think about.
Sirius, why did you have to go?
Why did you have to leave me?
You were the closest thing
I had to a father.
And then you were taken from me.
Your life was ended, like a candle flame
being snuffed out. A flame never to return.
Sirius, why did you have to go?
Even as I sit by the lake,
hidden from view by a bush,
even as I feel tears coming down my face,
splashing on the ground,
I begin to accept.
I begin to accept that you are gone.
I begin to accept that I will never see you again,
at least while my life here on Earth lasts.
I begin to accept you are gone.
Even though I'm sad, I know that where you are going
is better than what you're leaving behind.
You're walking towards the light,
you're beginning a new adventure;
and knowing that, I can be at peace.
I can now be at peace,
and begin to accept,
that you are not coming back.
