he tried to stop you;
he did, really.
he told you that you had a way (out)
you could leave, here and now
you don't have to obey
you can live
live and breath
through fresh lungs
instead of h/e/a/v/i/n/g through
corrupted ones
but black is honor
black is ancient
black is noble
you were told these things.
you had to believe these
because if mother and father said it
it was true, wasn't it?
you tried to [hide] the emotions
with indifference
but oh, regulus, you couldn't
you just couldn't
sirius could see
the emotions /screaming\ through
you can't disobey
because you don't have that
gryffindor boldness, do you?
for the big sis/lil sis team prompt competition, based off of my lil sis teddy's OS. I used here and now and scream for prompts. inspiration taken by the song 'youth' by daughter.
