Helga Hufflepuff musing after she takes a chance telling Salazar Slytherin that she's in love with him and is rejected.

To Silence the Heart

It will cry for you but I will not listen
The ache will be numbed by hard cold resentment
Scream as it might, I will not listen
Because the heart will be silenced.
It cherished you and held you dear
You ignored it and scoffed at the offer of forever
Slowly you chipped away at it's corner stone until it crumbled into pieces
Long I toiled to rebuild and strengthen
I allowed it to love and want you after each hurricane
Every time I mop up the flood of tears
Scream as it might, I will not listen
