Emotions

by Fira Black-Malfoy
 
 
 

It’s over and done
But the heartache lives on inside
 

Hermione wept into her pillow.  She and her husband Draco just had
the worst fight in her whole life.  And now Draco had left.  Well, it had
happened yesterday, but she wondered where Draco could be right
now…
 

And who is the one you’re clinging to
Instead of me tonight?
And where are you now,
Now that I need you…
 

Hermione stared up at the ceiling, tears falling from her face, as she
remembered happier times she had had with him…How she missed
him so much…and, hell, it hadn’t been 20 hours since he left…
 

Tears on my pillow
Wherever you go…
 

Tear stains formed on her pillow as she cried even more at the mere
thought of him…Where was Draco?  Could he feel how worried his
wife was about him? Did he know she was still crying over him?
 

I’ll cry me a river
That leads to your ocean…
 

Hermione wept and wept…she wondered if their son could hear her
as she cried out for Draco to come home…
 

You’ll never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart…
 

But Hermione knew she had to be strong.  She was not going to let it
take over her…
 

Chorus:
It’s just emotions that’s taking me over
I’m caught up in sorrow
Lost in my soul…
 

This was nothing, she thought to herself.  She’d had worse times.
She wasn’t about to let her emotions run her…
 

But if you don’t come back…
 

Still, Hermione thought.  Still, she couldn’t deny that she loved him
too much to let him go just like that…
 

Come home to me, darling…
 

Hermione called again to the emptiness around her.  She longed to
see him again, longed to be with him again…
 

Don’t you know there’s nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Don’t you know there’s nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight…
 

See what you’ve done to me, Draco, Hermione wanted to say. He’d
made her love him too much, and now the heartache was worse than
ever…
 

I’m there at your side
Part of all the things you are…
 

Hermione had given him her all, loved him with all his heart, promised
to take care of him.  Why wasn’t it enough?
 

But you’ve got a part of someone else…
 

What did she lack?  What could that other girl give to Draco that she
could not?  But she knew this was no way of loving someone.  Harry
had once told her that if she loved something, she had to learn to let it go…
 

You got to go find your shining star…
 

Hermione decided it was for the best.  She’d let him go because she
loved him.  If Draco came back to her, then it was proof enough for
Hermione that he loved her.  But if not…well…
