This is something that's been tugging on my mind for so long I can't ignore it any longer. I hope you like this poem, I've been working on it for awhile, and I'd like to think I'm okay at poetry.

An Ode to Lily Evans
Oh, what I wouldn't give
to turn back time
and ruin the phrase
I had foolishly said
"Mudblood" - What a horrible word
And oh, how I wish
I'd carved our names
into the tree
that she and 'Tuni
were so fond of
LE + SS
Lily Evans + Severus Snape
Maybe she would've loved me if
everyone knew
after they'd read the four letters and one character
that could've been on that tree
But, now I see him
as he holds her hand
and embraces her - My darling, Lily Evans
But she is Lily Evans
no more
Lily Evans is gone
she has disappeared - faded
into a different name
She has taken his name
a disgusting name - Potter
So I gave her my heart as a wedding gift
but she locked it away and
gave him the key
so may do with it as he may
The key to my heart, which stays hidden in a silver cage
he has warped it into a nail
used to build their house - they're first house
In Godric's Hollow
My heart is forgotten
yet still, I wait
for the day when the one
with emerald eyes
descends the stairs to my dungeon abode
Who knows, maybe these eyes
will care enough
to open my cage.
This, is my ode to Lily Evans. May she rest in peace.
