Shattered-his heart was in pieces
Cold-his heart cavity froze without a care
Alone-who was he going to talk to
Broken-he was absolutely alone.
Left in the dust of what could have been
How?
Why?
Who would do such a thing?
Lily,
Gone.
Dead.
Precious Lily.
So delicate,
The everlasting flower, Lily
Voldemort- Her murderer
He-Who-Must-Die, the absolute opposite of her.
Severus Snape
From then forth,
Grew up cold, pushing followers away.
He despised Tom, the monstrosity

Severus Snape
From then forth,
Grew up cold, pushing followers away.
He despised Tom, the monstrosity
An abomination to the world
His left arm.
The slithering snake sickened him.
What had he done?
Dumbledore.
How he begged to him.
The greatest wizard to ever live,
Truly.
Potions Master
He now spent his days grading papers.
How he loathed children.
They vexed him.
Why were they so cheerful,
When eminent doom was lurking.
Didn’t they know that Voldemort wasn’t dead?
Foolish children.
Severus’ life was not what he wanted.
A family-with Lily
A career-to provide for their family
Happiness-loving Lily.
He wanted what he couldn’t have.
Everyday, he spent having to watch
Watch the product of his mistake
Lily married James, and together they made Harry.
Harry Potter
The Boy Who Lived
The boy who Severus vowed to protect.
He was like a punch in the face.
Severus made mistakes.
Even he would admit that.
But why did his biggest mistake have to glare at him
With the eyes of Lily, the woman he loved.
His left arm.
The slithering snake sickened him.
What had he done?
Dumbledore.
How he begged to him.
The greatest wizard to ever live,
Truly.
