Rid Yourself of Niceties

A HariPo freeverse piece

Note: The Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling, not to me. This pairing is a Mew and Mor's Weird Pairing, which you may find in the M&MWP forum (see my profile for details).

"If for honesty

You want apologies

I don't sympathize

If for kindness

You substitute blindness

Please open your eyes"

—Depeche Mode, "Condemnation"

You wish you knew why he looked at you that way

with a mixture of

pity&l_o_n_g_i_n_g

Even though you know the "pity"

is empathy

& really, there's something much more

between you two

Ah, you know exactly how to

f-i-x things

Break him down

Tear him apart

Leave scars that he won't show anyone but

YOU

Because when it all comes down to it, you just

want someone as damaged as you

&& he ought to learn

that damaged s.o.u.l.s

are what make the best loving hearts

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I know, short, but it gets the point across more. Especially considering how emotionally driven "Labyrinth" is.

Thanks for reading, and please review!
