A tribute to Severus Snape!!!


That cold cold night when nothing felt right
When my heart beat out of control
Their awful fate rested in my hands
Too many actions had taken their toll

A slip of the tongue, a betrayal of sorts
The night dissolved into chaos
She was ripped from this life, it was all my fault
I swore on my life I'd make up for her loss

It was an emotion, one I'd never imagined,
My still beating heart ripped from my chest
I vowed I'd make my repentance,
That I'd give nothing less than my best

My entire existence, all that I was
Changed with the stop of her breath
I loved her throughout all of my life,
I promised to honor her until my own death

It was so hard you see, he looked just like his dad
And I wanted to give it all up
Just throw in the towel, hang it all
But I couldn't shake this feeling of love

Instead of doing what I'd known for so long
I hid who I'd truly become
I protected her boy from my "master" of sorts
And delivered him safe from harm

So many years, so many times
A grim opportunity arose
I gritted my teeth, I refrained from impulse
But my true nature I didn't impose

Nobody knew, nobody guessed
Except the one in who I could trust to confide
Alas, I couldn't save the headmaster
It was because of me that he died

The boy lived on, he rose victorious
We all knew he wouldn't back down
That one final moment I shared with him
I almost couldn't make a sound

I gasped, I struggled, I fought for my life
I knew it was slipping away
I uttered a few final somber words
Before death took me to stay

Though I wasn't perfect, I'd made my mistakes
I only hope that my end
Would redeem me in the smallest way
Make him know that he'd always had a friend

Someone who was always looking out
Someone who had his back
In the hopes that one day vengeance would be found
My Lily's boy would be on the right track

I watched him, in life, I've watched him in death
I never could be more proud
He's so much like his mum, especially those eyes
As he rallies a crowd

Rising again, claiming his rightful victory
I shed my final tear
It's nineteen years later, he speaks to his son
And every word I could hear

His son. Lily's grandson. I feel my heart swell
It's nineteen years after the war.
I know in my heart. All is well.
