Innocence Farewell

by Lina Inverse the Dramata

Severus' first murder for Voldemort... And it wasn't all that Snape imagined it would be... It is finished so don't worry about waiting forever for more chapters. 1 Chap is all there is. The title I read and was inspired by. Sorry.

Innocence Farewell

~*~

Innocence, Farewell,

I say,

For I've not lost you,

You've gone away.

For can I lose,

What never was?

Inside my soul,

Was only lust.

A lust for life,

A thirst for power,

Innocence-

What I devoured.

Blood soaks into my hands,

My clothes,

My first victim lies,

In belied repose

This mask I wear,

It brands my skin,

Scorching iron,

I'm caving in.

What have I done?

I've joined the ranks,

Of a higher evil,

My worst mistake.

I hold it in,

I cannot show,

That I regret,

All I have known.

Innocence, Farewell,

I say,

For I've not lost you,

You've gone away.
