A/N: I own nothing, this goes for all chapters from here on out. I have baking chocolate cookies, watching Frozen, and listening to my friends sing Radioactive by Imagine Dragons, extremely off-key as inspiration for this poem. As I just wrote this down and published it, and feedback would be welcome!
We're all in this together,
we can't back down now.
The world is ending,
It is the apocalypse.
Wizards turn against one another,
As I watch from afar.
My son, shunned for my error,
Forever cursed, caught 'tween all worlds.
I made a grave mistake.
I'll carry this grief to my grave.
My headstone shall read,
"Here lies Lyall Lupin,
This man cursed his son."
I betrayed him,
My wife and young son.
She left me that night,
And my son hangs on by a thread.
The other night, I had a dream,
My life, my darling Hope, came to me.
All she said was,
"I'm waiting, you're shining."
I hope she meant that I was doing well,
It wasn't easy,
Living past her.
One day, soon, I'll join her.
But first, my son, Remus,
He will finish Hogwarts.
He will fight for the top,
With his friend's love, Lily Evans.
Then I'll join my love.
Soon forgotten, by all but him.
I hope that he'll find love someday,
His mother gave her life for his happiness.
