Dementor. Dementor. Oh wicked dementor!
Why did you come?
Why must you rip away the joy that was once mine?
Why did you shatter the the dreams, I once held?
Mortal. Mortal. Oh wretched mortal!
Why have you come?
Why must you poison my perfectly chilled world?
Why did you invade my exquisite dark realm?
Demon. Demon. Oh horrid demon!
Why chill me?
Why freeze the region surrounding me?
Why paralyze the summer sun?
Earthling. Earthling. Oh disastrous earthling.
Why blame me?
Why insist the fault is mine alone?
Why condemn me for all that is wrong with your existence?
Dementor. Dementor. Oh wicked dementor.
Why should I not?
Why shall I not observe the frost that you bring?
Why can I comment on the frigid nature of your being?
Mortal. Mortal. Oh wretched mortal!
Have you not considered your own faults?
Why refuse to cast blame upon yourself?
Why refuse to seek progress where progress is needed?
Should the night be too lonely, summon some fine companion.
Should the air become to chilled, bask in the ambiance of a fire.
Should you feel life has stopped you, reflect upon your own internal short comings to explore solutions for moving forward.
