The Scarlet Rose

Their love was forbidden
Oh, how they both knew.
But he loved her so,
And she loved him too.
The swore to keep secret,
Their vows put to heart,
But their families found out,
And drove them apart.
Without the other, they could not live.
The felt no more reason for life
All their future hopes were crushed,
Left were lost dreams of becoming husband and wife.
The pain of separation was too much to bear,
Their lonely hearts ached inside.
One day Draco couldn't take it anymore
And formulated a plan in his mind.
Since life was meaningless without her,
He'd prefer to just die.
But before he was to leave this world,
He had to say goodbye.
He sent an owl to tell her that he'd love her forever more.
But if he were to live without her there,
What would there be living for?
She knew what he was going to do,
And rushed to where he was.
He passed away in her loving arms,
With her, he breathed his last.
Ginny never cried like that before,
As far as anyone knows,
For in his bloody outstretched hand was a crimson, scarlet rose.
True devotion they said would never fall,
True romance will never die,
True love is when you love someone even after your last goodbye.
