Something so I wouldn't feel like I've died and fallen off the face of the planet... Another Severus/Lily, because I love them and I also felt like writing some depressing poetry type nonsense...

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter:)

Please Review! That would really make my stress-filled life happy! (First year of high school right?) But thanks for reading!

He was the tortured boy

And she was the Golden Girl

Even if she did yell at a certain

Black haired monster quite a bit

He hated that monster

Devil incarnate he was

Driving Lily to the point of insanity

That bloody Potter

(Couldn't he see what he was doing to her?)

But at the end of the day

James bloody Potter

Always had more than Severus

EVER would

(He had Lily…. Who else?)

Lily herself might deny it

She might rant for hours about him

But he could see it in her eyes

She loved him

(Severus always had been good at reading people… especially her)

Even if she wouldn't admit it

To herself

It was there

And always would be

(Because of one stupid mistake…)

No matter how long

He sat in the library

One of her favorite books in hand

Staring blankly out the window

Down to that tree by the lake

That had forever changed his life

Two years ago

(Why had he done it?)

No matter how long he pondered

Thought hard till his mind (and his heart)

Positively ACHED

He knew it would always be as bad as it had sounded

And he could never ever take it back

That one hate filled word…

MUDBLOOD

He hadn't quite realized

Who he had been snarling at

Until it had been much

Much too late

(He would from then on always think before he spoke…. Just in case)

So here he was

The tortured boy

Forever cursed to dream

Of his Golden Girl

And to forever resent the monster

Who had the one thing Severus never would

LOVE.
