Disclaimer: All right… I confess they are not mine. They are JKR's :).
A/N: This Poem is dedicated to Kerstin (Wishing for a love like this); I told you I couldn't write a poem and here's the prove :). And it's also dedicated to Courtney (Princessdza) and Lowri (Bluekiwibubble) because they have read and reviewed every single chapter of my every single story in English ;). Thank you so much for that.
So here goes, my first clumsy attempt at poetry, lol.
Summary: These are Remus' feelings after rejecting Nymphadora for the first time.
The Reason I Breathe
Late in the night I stare at the moon and I shiver;
Not from the cold in the dark,
But from the stabbing pain in my heart
Caused by the bearing of this mark,
The mark that have altered my fate.
I feel like crying a river,
I feel like sobbing… I feel desolate.
……………………………………
A single tear rolls down my face,
Though my heart is wrenched
And tore into a million pieces.
My mind, my spirit, my whole being is drenched
In your love, in your faith.
But I know that somehow I have to surface
From this lethargy, this dream, this glee
That takes hold of my soul whenever you're here with me.
……………………………………
Without you I am hollow
But with me you would not be safe.
So my heart I cannot follow,
And I silently cry all my grief and my ache
To the moon that I fear and I hate.
……………………………………
For you I renounce…
The strongest feeling, my precious gift;
Your love for me, my last chance
Of being happy, of being free
In this life of misery.
……………………………………
Because of this mark I renounce
My love for you… this love I feel so deep.
So strong that keeps me awake at night,
And makes me dream when I finally fall asleep.
……………………………………
Your love I cannot have
Though it makes me ache inside,
Your love I will not accept
Not even at the turn of the tide.
And though your sore I painfully regret,
For you I must be brave.
I bear a mark, I'm under a curse
And nothing… anyone could this man save
Nor do I deserve such purse.
……………………………………
I'll just remain lost and lonely in this empty road,
The road of this existence that I loathe.
But I want you to know
That until time is through
I'll be here for you
Granting everything you need.
And I'm pledging you this vow
That as long as I live
You would be the reason I breathe.
……………………………………
The End
A/N: As I said before this is my first Poem and I actually can't believe that I wrote it :). Anyway please read and leave me your thoughts in a review.
