Cold dark eyes of secret fires
Velvet voice of deep desires
A heart of stone that longs for trust
disguises passion, heat and lust.

Raven tresses o'er your face
The way you move with easy grace
Robes that billow to and fro
The confidence you always show

Can you ever leave the past
Learn to love and trust at last
Others look but do not see
What you seek is within me

Around your heart you've built a wall
To stand alone, rather than fall
The ones who seek to do you harm
Cannot be found within my arms

The scars you hide, both in and out
Do not define what you're about
The darkness trapped inside your soul
Longs for a light to make you whole

I can show you love that's true
That won't desert or betray you
Honesty and faith unbound
A pledge I'll always be around

When false friends fill your tiresome day
I'm here for you in every way
An ear to listen, a gentle word
To let you know someone has heard

I hope someday you find your peace
And the nightmares of you life will cease
Your heart I never will forsake
My love, Professor Severus Snape
