From the Heart

by Nera Mornit

A collection of poems from different characters' points of view. So far, the Sorting Hat, Remus Lupin, and Sirus Black. They turned out darker than I expected. More to come, if everyone who comes within ten miles of them doesn't hate them instantly.

2. Left Behind

Solitude.

It seems a fact of my existence.

They're gone now.

The things that gave reason to live.

I am alone.

And though it pains me greatly,

I must admit

That I am the only one.

All but I have turned or fallen.

All but I are lost.

Ironically appropriate,

But sad just the same

That at the end of things

It should be me,

Alone.

Left behind.
