Occlumency

The dangers of recalling the Past

He holds his breath trying to breathe
He closes his eyes trying to see
He shuts his mouth when speech is needed
Only opening it when silence is treasured
His mind clouds trying to clear
His soul like a crystal when it should be steel

Fame
Power
Fortune

How can I, from where I stand,
Teach him, make him understand?
Our mutual hatred, my own disdain,
Pure resentments he can’t contain

Fame
Power
Fortune

For all that’s happened in the past
He shall pay at this instant
I recognize he’s not his father
I’m not sightless, do you know?
He may, yes he may not be him
But how can I teach him
Protect is worthless life
When I, myself, want to see his death?

Fame
Power
Fortune

I fail to see behind that hateful mask
As others fail to see beyond his believed credit

Fame
Power
Fortune

Not even his eyes manage to melt my heart
Because their former owner
Leaving me like frozen statue
Chose him to share joys and fears,
To care and hold, to life and death
So true, so true, like the Good Book says

Fame
Power
Fortune

I won’t succeed, I know it now
The boy won’t learn and it’s my entire fault
Towers will drop, alliances will crash
For my flaw I shall burn in Hell
