A.N Okay this is a poem I wrote, it literally came out of nowhere I was just

writing a

book report for my English teacher on I never promised you a rose garden and

suddenly the words my long forgotten garden came to my head. anyway this

fic is about Snape thinking about a lot of things some being how he was starting

to loose it after so long, and after so much suffering and how he thinks it kind of

funny that the most simplest thing in the world brought him back. any way the

kid can be any one you want but I had a specific character in mind when I wrote

this tell my how you think it is and if you think this poem really doesn't fit

Severus I'll keep it in mind when I write the next thank you for you time and

please review!!!

My Long Forgotten Garden

I never said a garden would last forever

It will slowly fade away like some little daydream

When the flowers bloom in spring things seem so simple

Then the winter comes rolling in like a flood of water

It drowns away the sun it storms without a god

Things seem so simple on a summer day

Flowers will wither and die

Like a tragic fairytale

Has no one said yet that though may think life so simple and easy

Things will go

And

Things will die just like in that garden

I don't know how to explain what I mean

Once when I was younger I didn't care about a thing

Now I'm old and a bit wiser

But not old enough for you to see

The wisdom that falls at my feet

I have seen so much

Though my looks may be youthful

Things are not what they appear

At a fist look and glance

Sometimes I wonder why I bother to wait

For a forgotten garden

Things will never be the same

My garden has gone

Just a single rose petal that is all that is left

I am much smarter now but the price was my garden

My place of rest my tears of snow

That's all that remains

The roses would touch my cheek promising false lies

But who cares I now they lied with no trouble

But as for me you will see that's not the case.

So sad is the rose though they say it's happy

They are a show of love just like a red heart

But the thing no one knows they long for love still

Though they now they will not live once their stem is broken

But they don't care they still wish

To now love still

So sad is their fate

For that is they told me so

In my garden of simple things

Simple yet majestic

What beauty you will see lies with in broken fences

At the corner of every street there lies a flower fighting to survive

Look and then smile

For you see now

I know it's so simple

It took me many wanderings and my precious flowers

But I see now at last I see what I could not before

I see the beauty now as you sit and smile with a carefree look

Just an innocent child

How could you see beyond your walls

Of happy memories

Some you say are so sad

But every rose as its thorns now

So don't look at me as if I lost it all

You know I'm still here with my garden

I think I found mine

Just try not to lose

All that is precious

Keep it locked within your soul

A thing from happier days, isn't it so lovely?

Just another springtime of things lost long ago

Or maybe it's just that for us it seems like an eternity

But it will come back

Now you see me smile, for I saw my garden

There's only a little left of what once was

Many flowers, but don't you see?

It's my rose, my bushes of roses

They are what survived my fall

So I hope they last you

They are wild

Abandoned now I guess I should tend them

But there is a beauty now about the wild and free

Maybe I should leave it as it is

Sometimes things happen for some strange reason

But I guess in the end this is much better

So little child don't loose your garden

So you can smile still though all the years may pass

Still I now you might fall like the mightiest do

So sad is a garden lost and forgotten

I should know mine was lost

So long ago

Oh well this is my tale

Of my garden

And a part long lost to me

It's incredible what the simplest things can do

The simplest thing in the world brought back my garden

A smile

All it took was a smile from a child

A child that did not fear me

Nor knows any hate for me

A smile was all it took.

What an innocent child.
