Click hereI hear the neighbors arguing again,
They say my house is being watched at night.
I wonder if they talk about us when
Those weirdos from the order are in sight.
My sister once was hurt in their affair,
So now at night they gather here to spy.
I watch them all, returning stare for stare,
Their eyes in neverending looks reply.
Our neighborhood was carefree long ago,
My husband's smile as wide as it could be,
Our own young son had given us a glow,
Ecstatic lovers all the world could see.
But then along came Lily's Dumbledore.
The peaceful rest we once had, nevermore.
