Dear Readers,

I have always suspected that deep within Severus Snape lurked a poet's soul. He was a deep and complex person and he would have needed some sort of outlet for his feelings, due to the fact that he kept them buried most of the time. I plan to write poems from Severus Snape's point of view for this particular part of LaTasha's 100 Visits to Insanity Challenge, as I am bored to death, and in need of inspiration. Hopefully, you enjoy.

Beginning

You were just a child

And so was I

I watched you from afar

Not a doubt in my mind

You were a witch,

One of my own kind.

Your sister was Muggle

And didn't understand

What type of magic

Lay at your own hand.

And so you gave in

To her selfish demands.

I never got courage

To tell you why

I have loved you always

All I could do was cry

And hold you close

That night you died.

O Lily, dear lily

My magical girl

You'll stay with me forever

You're always my world

The only one I've ever loved

Please watch over me from up above.
