Severus' Confession
Closing my eyes,
Won't dull the pain,
Won't save my soul,
Won't stop the shame,
Closing my eyes
Won't make it right,
Won't numb the fear,
Won't bring the light,
Closing my mind,
Won't blind the foe,
Won't mask the truth,
Or what I know,
Closing my heart
Won't let me feel,
Won't keep me safe,
Won't make it real,
Closing my heart,
Won't stop the hate,
Won't kill the dreams,
Won't tempt the fate,
Closing my life,
Will end the fight,
Will bring me peace,
Will do what's right,
Closing my life,
Will dull the pain,
Will save my soul,
Will stop the shame.
