Warning: Vague mentions of suicide.


The emotion is gone,
Long since departed.
All that is left is an emptiness,
A gaping, empty hole where my heart was.

I shall not feel again.
The pain of life is too great.
I don't want to grow up,
For the world will be harsher still.

Laughter echoes all around me,
I stand in a bubble of sorrow.
Sound rises and falls,
Hitting me like tidal waves.

I long to go,
To leave this harsh place behind me.
Yet, my friends won't let me leave.
Remus, James, and Peter.

And I don't want to leave them behind me.
I wonder if people will ever see past my family.
I'm no longer one of them, burnt off the family tree.
Yet, still my family has poisoned me, for all the world to see.
