A/N: This is my first Harry Potter poem! Please tell me what you think!

It's Severus's POV after Sirius's death!

Disclaimer: The characters don't belong to me!!!

Worth crying for

Why should I shed a tear for him
When he didn't cry for me?
He hurt me and he laughed at me,
He watched, but didn't see.

He thought I was the bad one,
He didn't ask me why.
All he knew was that I was a Slytherin,
But he didn't see me cry.

Now Black finally left this world,
He joined his friends at last.
I know his godson blames me
For he left him way too fast.

Potter will survive this loss,
I do not fear for him.
Soon he will be fine again,
As he has always been.

But when I look at this man now,
The last one of the four,
I find it in my heart somehow -
He is worth crying for.

With shattered dreams and shattered hopes
He is so much like me,
They think he will be fine again -
But I alone can see.

When this war is over
He is not needed anymore.
All his life he helped them all,
But this time he will fall.

I think then I'll shed a tear for him.
That is if I'm still here.
They wish for a happy ending.
But life is not that fair.
