A Prince of a Man
Severus, please…
He trusted you;
He put his life into your hands,
And you took it.
And my soul?
You could not grieve his fall;
You had to play the part.
You turned away.
I sometimes think we sort too soon.
He was the only one who understood you,
The only one who knew you.
He asked so much of you.
Thank you, Severus.
