Thestrals

Living in

My own fantasy world

Dreaming of creatures

Strong and different

Like me

There is a difference

Between people and I

Many people

Can't see them

With the naked eye

You must have seen death

That is the truth

Parents and siblings

Taken away

Just like my mother

Pretty was she

She did experiments

Until one blew

That day she died

I was merely nine

I didn't understand

Why it had to be her

She was always there

With comfort and a hug

Never a harsh word

Never a blow

I miss you mum

I know you are there

Watching my travels

Way up in the clouds

Of heaven

Please come back to me

Please help me live

Otherwise I will come

To you

I merely have two

People who would care

Daddy and Ginny

They are all that I have

One my best friend

One my father

I'm sorry mum

I have to try harder

To understand

Why it had to be you

Now I am on

The train today

Heading for school

And a new year

I see those horses

Black as night

I have seen them

Ever since that day

Ever since I've arrived

Because you are gone

Gone from my life

Those horses stare

And fold their wings

Their eyes pierce

My very soul

Searching my heart

Tearing it out

And then it is done

My heart has been helped

A weight has been lifted

My sorrow, shelved

Thank you thestrals

Good bye mum

I will miss you always

But I will remember you

Because of those horses

With their black eyes

And their shiny wings

Those thestrals.
