The Setting Sun on the Lake
I dive into frozen waves where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends
A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again
'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
Fight fear for the selfish pain, it was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash 'cause we both know how this ends
A clock ticks 'til it breaks your glass and I drown in you again
'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
Teddy’s life had taken a drastic turn in the last couple years; he had trained to be an Auror just like his godfather and had spent a few years doing just that. He had thought that being an Auror would finally make him feel complete in his life but it hadn’t, he had still felt like there was something missing and that’s when he had really turned to the alcohol. He had been pretty lost, he hadn’t really cared about much besides his next drink and when he drank he didn’t act like himself. He had a temper and would often get into fights.
When he had been offered a job at Hogwarts something inside of him clicked, he had thought maybe being a teacher is what he needed to complete him. Help mold the children of the future instead of hunting down the people who were beyond help. The moment he got the job Teddy was able to put drinking on the back burner, sure he wasn’t able to totally give it up but usually only had a couple drinks here or there now. He knew that it would be a constant battle but he was pretty good a fighting it on his own without others noticing. Much like his father Teddy was a loner, he liked to spend most of his time along and he liked fighting his inner battles alone. That was probably why he could never really make relationships work, usually a woman wanted to be let in, she wanted to work through his problems with him while Teddy would much rather deal with his issues alone.
It was the weekend today so Teddy had no classes to teach, he knew he should be grading some papers or making sure the students weren’t getting into any trouble which he had started to do but he had some how got distracted by the Lake. He sighed as he watched the sun light dance across the gentle water. Harry had told him what it was like beneath the calm water, the squid the mermaids. Teddy had always been afraid to fall in that seemingly peaceful water. He and Vic used to come out here and have picnics when they were together, before Teddy had kind of ruined that relationship like he ruined most of his relationships. Sitting down the Professor leaned against a nearby tree, he could see in the distance students also enjoying the nice weather.
