Framed for a Sirius Crime
Eyes, grey like storm clouds;
Hair, black as night.
Loosened tie and leather jacket.
Sarcastic and funny;
Caring and loyal;
Strong and brave;
A good man…
Very good, but broken.
The man I fell in love with.
Joined at the hip, we were.
I wish we still were.
Lonely nights, I stay up.
Plagued with nightmares.
Cursed with memories.
Of that Halloween’s tragedy.
All those many years ago.
Love of my life, gone.
Gone for twelve years.
Twelve years too many.
Framed, he was.
By someone we all called friend.
Painful betrayal;
Still hurts to think of.
Two murders.
Our closest friends…
So young and robbed of life.
Gone way too soon.
No way to get them back.
Padfoot is innocent.
Too loyal to betray.
Too loving to murder.
Wormtail is the rat; the guilty party.
Betraying the loving couple.
Betrayed all of us.
Wormy’s gone too; but not to jail.
To somewhere much worse.
My love does not deserve Azkaban.
A good man, he is.
Such a good man in such a horrible place;
Too painful to even imagine.
Harsh reality of my nightmares.
Waking up scared and alone.
Alone without my love.
