Hero

I close my eyes tights

As if the harder I try

The less tears will sneak through

I know I'm fighting a losing battle

But isn't that what all great warriors do?

Fight until the end?

Until there is no use

Until all is lost

I don't care

I don't care if I'm not some great warrior

Or hero

I never was

So why start now?

I don't care if the world sees me cry

Everyone should know how I feel

After all

I caused all of this

My hesitation caused all of this

Everything is my fault

My eyebrows are scowled

And my nose has turned red

I suddenly feel lightheaded

Slightly dizzy

Taking in a deep breath

I shut down what I had earlier unsuccessfully tried to stop

When I open my eyes

I see you

Laughing

Smiling

Happy

I smile for you

Whenever I think of you

Two things will immediately come to mind

Books

And smiling

You were always happy

Even in your weakest moments

You always smiled

The smile you got when you found the answer

To a particularly difficult questions

Varied slightly from the smile you would get

When he entered the room

No

I will not think of that now

But, alas, it is too late

As you two are already hugging

And cuddling again

Your face nuzzled into the crook of his neck

And his head resting top yours

Perfect

The perfect fucking couple

Do you remember

The day that you told me

Things would never change

That there would always be

Three

Sorry Hermione

But for once

You were only half right

True, there are three

2+1=3

But shouldn't it be 1+1+1=3?

Isn't that how it always was?

Three individuals

With likes and dislikes

Things that differ

Again

That's all true

But you changed it

You two changed it

Everything is different now

No

You are coming over here

Both of you

You smile

And greet me as though nothing has changed

And when you sit down

You don't sit on a chair

You sit on his lap

Pardon me while I throw up

I excuse myself

Saying I have to go somewhere

By the time I leave the room

I have already forgotten my excuse

And you have forgotten me

Because once again

Your head is on his neck

And his head on yours

I run from the room as fast as I can

And straight to the Great Lake

I sit there

Thinking

About 20 meters away from where you two sit

I let the tears come again

This time not even bother trying to hide it

I know it's useless

After hours of pointless moping

I go back to my room

I see you two are still on that couch

But this time it hurts me less

When I get to my room

The tears don't come

And the next time I see you

I smile back

Nothing fake

You deserve what makes you happy

And he makes you happy

And many years later

You ask me to speak at your wedding

I comply

Telling nothing but heartfelt compliments

After all

Every true hero knows when the battle is over

I close my eyes

And dream of you and I and then I realize

There's more to life than only bitterness and lies

I close my eyes

I'd give away my soul to hold you once again

And never let those moments end

I'll let you go, I'll let you fly

Though that I know, I'm asking why?

I let you go, now that I found a way to keep somehow

More than a broken vow

A/N

OK, so by the end everyone should be fairly aware of who was who. I seem to have a thing for writing poetry from a broken heart, except this is broken from a different perspective...hope you liked it! And don't forget to r/r!
