The room was dark and it was late. Much too late. He shouldn't have been there at this time of the night. But his faded grey eyes were elsewhere; maybe he didn't even know it was this late. His eyes were fixed on the dove. The dove was fluttering in a tall cage with solid metal bars, its feathers were ruffled and there was probably not enough skin on him. It fustrated the man but he related so much to the dove.

The man was propped up against the wall, his knees brought up to his chest, his hands knotted around them. The only thing that proved that this man was alive was the pressure applied by his hands, so much that his knuckles were white. His nails were dirty and overgrown, digging ferociously into his skin. His trousers were ripped, revealing a part of bloody skin. His sleeveless shirt fell loosely around his shoulders. It must have been below zero degrees in the room, yet the man showed no signs of being the least bit cold. He'd lost all sense of temperature, of direction, of time, of up or down. He was plunged in an eternal darkness; he couldn't feel anymore. He'd felt too much. Loved too much. Hurt too much. His lungs had forgotten how function correctly, his brain had shut down and his heart had shrivelled. His eyes were gaunt, deep circles had formed around them. The tiny spark of light in his eyes had dimmed and any signs of life had been knocked out of him. The only thought that crossed his numb mind again and again was: What's the point?

A/N

Can you guess who this is about and when this was? Comment down your guesses!

Sorry for the wait but I've had loads of personal issues this past month and absolutely no inspiration. So please please comment/pm me requests even if you've already done one in the past.

Thank you all so much,
Love x

Update: Since a lot of you have commented your guesses... I actually wrote this thinking of Sirius in Azkaban when there was no hope and he was driven mad with anger and grief. However, the second best guess would definitely be Remus just after Lily and James' death. Everything you said could definitely be true though.
