A/N: This is my first attempt at writing a poem (of sorts) based on a fiction character.

Disclaimer: The world of Harry Potter belongs solely to the brilliant J.K Rowling and I thank for you for bringing Severus Snape into our lives.


My Enigma

Who is the man behind the black veil
Who walked these hollow halls
Searching for a prey

Preferring privacy to company
As Dungeons to Tower
And Black to White

This enigma in question
Haunts my thoughts
In both day and night

He masquerades in darkness
Building solid walls
Around his human form

Ever so happy he is
To push everyone away
But hesitant to drive me away

Who is the man behind the black veil
Who walked these hollow halls
Searching for a prey

My questions will be unanswered
Along with his departure
On that frightful night

Forever he will remain to me
An Enigma
My Enigma
