Final Tears

I watch you. I know you better than anyone. They don't know you at all. They just flock around you, envious of everything you stand for.

You did it. Voldemort's dead. They're going to make a novel about it. Freaky isn't it?

I watch you with your friends. They all crowd to be around He Who Defeated The Dark Lord. They don't know you. Did they ever?

You're a very private person. You always have to be the strong one. Everyone expects it. Heroes never fall. With me, you could always be yourself. You don't even know who that is any more.

This war has changed you. Voldemort took more than people realise. He stole your innocence, your hope, your faith and your heart. You had to make yourself so strong so you wouldn't falter, and that has killed you.

The green eyes that always used to be laughing emeralds are now as cold and lifeless as the priceless jewels. They don't begin to compare to your heart. And your smile? Your sweet, disarming smile is now as fake as the lies we told to cover up our trysts.

You pushed me away. Told me you didn't care. You tried to protect me from what you've become. I'm not a child ...or an angel.

Were your declarations of love all lies? You may be a good actor, but I can see right through you. I always could.

I saw you yesterday. You looked at me with the expected hate in your eyes. There was something else there. Was it love? Do you still care?

You were my very own angel. My beautiful saviour, who rose from the ashes of nothing to create something so special and perfect. You were my avenging angel, now you are broken. Why won't you let me heal you?

No one knew. No one could ever know. I don't care about that now, I just want you to be in my arms forever.

I saw the announcement in the Daily Prophet. The perfect couple: Harry potter and Virginia Weasley. How could you?

I'm being selfish. I always knew I didn't deserve you. You deserve someone like her: beautiful, smart, brave and respectable.

Just be happy with her.

I can't stand this any more. I had hoped you would come back, but you never will now. You are my sun and now I'm in an endless night.

You've broken my heart before, but this time I can't put it back together. My blood is seeping into the carpet.

Don't go all Griffindor and feel guilty. You gave me perfect happiness. I was the devil, but I am blessed because I was touched by an angel.

The memory of you will be the only thing to keep me sane in the eternal torture of hell.

I have finally found my peace.

My everlasting love,

Draco Malfoy
