This is a poem that I think Severus might have written when Lily and James got married.

I am Drowning in the Life You Gave Me

I am Drowning in the life you gave me.

You gave me all I have.

Your lovely lips gave me my breath.

Your emerald eyes gave me my soul

Your fire-like hair made me see

That there is a life to live

The love I feel consumes me

The meaning of life is gone

I felt your arms around me.

And now without you I fall.

You've gone to him

I'll never breath again.

You gave me life

But you've killed me too

I'm drowning in the life you gave me

The life that cannot be.
