Erised

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

Look at me.

What do you see?

Fame and riches?

Or fawning, love-struck witches?

Knowledge without end?

A long dead friend?

An end to war?

Your family together once more?

What do you see?

Is it true?

Or will it never be?

But you cannot resist, can you?

And you will look upon me again.

You cannot resist.

You try to leave, but cannot win.

Who cares, you will not be missed.

Look at me.

Can you see?

I devour the people.

They cannot resist my pull.

Only those who are content,

Can escape my entrapment.

I show not your face,

But your heart's desire.
