"I just wanted to help!" she told him in the most gentle voice she could muster, "I just wanted to make sure you would be all right. I needed to know what was wrong—"
Sirius cut her off, his eyes narrowed. "You don't know me, Lia," he told her. She felt her brain stop and her heart melt to her stomach. His voice was so stern, firm, quiet, yet so full of bitterness. Her breathing eccelerated as she fought back the waterworks. Everything was happening so fast. She just stood there, transfixed, staring up into the dark brown eyes of the only man she had ever loved.
"You don't know the first thing about me, my life, or my family. You are simply an audience to my act...As is everyone else," he continued in the same voice as before, but with so much emotion, "Don't try to save me. Don't even bother to care. You don't know me and no matter what you say, you won't get through to me." he finished powerfully. There was a tone of finality in his voice. Lia didn't understand. It was as if he had been hiding for so long that now there was no way out. He had been running for too long and now he was too tired to carry on this way.
They stood, looking into each other's eyes and Sirius, choosing not to see all the hurt in Lia's hazel blue pools, turned his back to her, and walked out of the Gryffindor Common Room. His broad shoulders and handsome figure was the same as they'd always been and the window into his soul was cold as ice like no one would have ever imagined. A piece of that ice melted. Sirius Black shed a tear as he strutted down the hall as though nothing was hurting him, as though his heart wasn't gone, and as though he really never felt more empty in his life than at that moment.
Lia's legs trembled when the Gryffindor door slammed shut. Her chest heaved with emotion as she forced herself not to cry. I should've left him alone! She cried to herself within her thoughts. Her heart pounded, and most suddenly she sank into the couch behind her, covering her thin mouth in her hands. Her once alert, electric eyes, were now tired, worn out, the fire in them gone. They collected tears deep within her soul, blurring her vision, and she blinked letting them go. The warm droplets overwhelmed her cheeks, stinging all the way down. Lia sobbed and sobbed, and cried until her chest ached with the understandle pain her heart could take no more of and slept on that couch; her tears became her lullaby that night.
What's
the way of love?
Tell me your fiction
Tell me your lies
Say
to me now, you'll never forget this night
I'm feeling emotionless
My head's so clear
My enemies aren't, the one I fear
You
know your kiss confused
This troubling soul
And I found out
That we're all breaking hearts
That we're all broken hearts
If only love could save us all
If only hearts didn't have
to fall
We can't mislead to make things right
So instead
we'll sleep alone tonight
What's the way of love?
You are
thinking I'm crazy
But you're blushing of lust
I've heard a
lot of nice things,
but tell me which ones I'm to trust?
These
walls we made are glass
And they have been known to crack
But
until then
You'll keep pushing my way
And I'll keep pushing
you away
If only love could save us all
If only hearts
didn't have to fall
We can't mislead to make things right
So
instead we'll sleep alone tonight
If you want to take a
chance
And try to make things right
You better have a reason
to be loved
We all want something more
And it is worth
fighting for...
If only love could save us all
If only
hearts didn't have to fall
We can't mislead to make things right
So instead we'll sleep alone tonight
And if somehow
fate were in my hands
Would it be enough to understand
Why we
feel lost in a world so small
If only love could find us all...
