Author's Note: I was looking through some of my old poetry and found this.Immediately I thought of Draco and Hermione. Comments welcome
Hermione's POV
Key To My Heart
You've held the key to my heart
For so long.
But me, being me;
Much too practical for my own good,
I changed the locks.
(What you don't know is that your
Key will still open the door)
I slammed that door right in your face,
Thinking that we were better off.
"We can't" I said. "This isn't right."
You told me I needed to let go,
To let my heart lead me
But you don't understand.
I did let my heart lead me.
(It led me to you, didn't it?)
But I was too sheltered,
Too naive to realize what I had in you.
My heart may have longed for you,
But in my mind....
(I knew it wouldn't last.)
But, oh, how my heart pines for you now,
It begs me daily to give in.
But I know that I've hurt you too badly,
To come crawling back.
(It's not about my pride anymore,
Or even about my emotions.)
It's about you now.
And the fact that you've moved on.
Seeing you with her feels
As if I've been pierced through the heart.
I wish I could turn back the time,
To make it alright again.
(But time does not bend,
For unfortunate lovers)
Time swiftly moves on,
As my heart breaks bit by bit.
I ask myself why.
Why did I ever give up on you?
I guess now I'll never know.
(And you'll be left with her,
Unaware of how my heart aches)
And that's the way it should be.
