I don't own Harry Potter.

Just a little poem I wrote about Severus' feelings for Lily. Hope you enjoy!

Green eyes shine brightly

under a waterfall of red hair.

A smile plays on her full red lips

My Lily.

She doesn't know I watch her,

leaning over her books in the library

lips pursed and eyes squinted

as she tries to comprehend the text in front of her.

I wish I could talk to her

Walk with her

but then James comes and lifts her away.

Leaving me alone in the darkness

Overshadowed, depressed, lonely.

Always pushed to the side.

At least I always had Lily,

but she's James' sweet flower now.

And I know I'll never pick another flower

from the garden of love.

Because My Lily Flower was one of a kind

She can't be replaced; I will never replace her.

She will be in my mind forever,

sweet and innocent, and never forgotten.

Please review and tell me what you think! Thanks!
