« je t’aime » sirius whispered down at the baby in the cradle who’s hair spiked up in all directions. « tu es très beau » and harry kicked his feet while sirius danced him around the house. « fière de toi » he gasped when harry finally walked. sirius whispered his love in french to harry. his harry. his beautiful, strong, silly godson.
the first time sirius saw the sunlight in years and all he could think of was his godson. je t’aime. je t’aime. je t’aime. and when he his arms wrapped around harry at last he whispered his mantra into harry’s ear « je t’aime »
they have always circled each other like starving animals yearning for another meal. waiting for the other to flinch, to falter before they pounce. harry and tom are two sides of the same coin, saturated with poison.
the thing about hate is that its just as sickening and saccharine as love and no man can hold himself back forever. so they circle until their chance to tear each other apart.
My eyes bear the weight of sunken bags beneath them, each crease a testament to the sleepless nights spent thinking of you. How life has changed, how I have changed, and how I will forever miss you. My mood has plummeted, so deeply down. I try to wear a happy face, and for a fleeting 60 seconds, I succeed. Then, I catch sight of a tree you would have admired, hear a song we would have shared, or smell a dish you loved, and I am transported back to the moment I learned of your departure. Cradled on the floor, engulfed in sorrow for you.
This month, every day in it, I've counted down to your birthdate. I knew you didn't like anyone making a fuss over it, but I loved making a fuss over you every year. I'd annoy you for weeks on end about it, I'd send you gifts you hated receiving, but I think secretly you loved. Now it's here again, and I can't message you, I can't call you, I can't send you a sneaky pork roll, or collection of photos of trees I thought you'd like, the ones I've been collecting for the past few months.
my heart carries no walls
only a small warning sign
carved into the dust by
the last one left to die
there are no guns drawn or weapons aimed
i welcome you with open arms
i don't hold weapons around my heart
i let you in and leave you there stranded.
slow, quiet words dripping with a feeling, a tone cascading from every letter uttered out of their lips
a visceral reaction towards the melodic sound of their voice slipping passed the veil of glass separating them like a wall between two completely different worlds
their relationship was comparable to that of the vast ocean and expansive stars. the calm yet strong pull and sway of the moving of the tides and the soft, comforting, guiding yet eerie light of the midnight moon.
on their own they were strong and independent. they were mesmerizing individuals, but together they created a scene that was beyond pleasing to the eye, a visual that blossomed new urges and desires unseen, unthought of before. together they stirred the most tasteful disasters in the minds of those who despised them and awoken the most blissful in those who admired them.
together they were simply, in but a single word, pretty.
