TRAPPED

(SIRIUS BLACK)

What do you see when you look in my eyes?

Do you see a boy refusing to cry?

I'm trapped in this hellhole,

My soul that someone must have stole,

Is hollow and full of pain,

What can I possible gain?

I know it's for my own good,

But I would get out of here if I could,

Why couldn't life go back to the way it used to be?

When it was my friends and me

When life felt full and bright,

Now I have forgotten the feel of the light,

I know I have a job to do,

A debt I have to renew,

I made an undying promise once,

I will not break James' trust,

I must protect his son,

I can't stop until the job is done.

I hate this damn house so much

The walls are cold and hard to the touch.

Voices from long ago echo threw the halls,

And travel up stonewalls that are so tall.

I can hear my mother's screams and cries

Wishing why her first son wouldn't just die.

Now I have to listen to her every night

And were yelling ourselves into a fight.

But it's all worth it in the end

If I can protect my godson and have him think of me like a friend

I would help him on the pain of death

Because he deserves nothing less

If he wanted I would give him the world

All he has to say is the word

I can suck it up and handle my horrible life

As long as I know that he will be alright.
