My Immortal - Evanescence (Hermione's P.O.V)

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

Hermione paced the house. The house she owned with Harry that they had bought three days before the attack and Ron had died. Harry wasn't there right now and whenever Hermione was alone in the house she could feel Ron around her, holding her, trying to convince her to move on from his death and live again.

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

She hadn't seen Harry much since the funeral; he'd busied himself in his work, sorting everything out since Voldemort had died and the Death Eaters left that need to be forced into Azkaban. The Ministry had regained control of the Dementors and they had been placed back on to the island prison. All that she could think about was Ron and who she had betrayed him by marrying Harry, nothing could change her feelings.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

Ron had been her comfort, her shoulder to cry on when Harry was off somewhere battling the legions of the Dark Lord. He'd seen her at her weakest when her parents had been killed, he'd seen her anger when Harry had refused to let her go and fight with all the others simply because she was his wife and Voldemort could use her like no one else. Ron had been there for everything and had always understood.

You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

Hermione looked up at a picture of Ron and Harry on the day they had become Aurors together. He had been so full of life then, as he pushed Harry out of the frame and waved his diploma into the camera. Now his face echoed in her mind, tormenting her and keeping her from her normal life and forced her to spend all her time thinking of him and not of Harry.

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
