In Reverie

by Aoife Malfoy

Severus Snape is one greasy bastard but what if the usual act he puts on were to slip out of place? Who would be the man underneath the mask? Care to find out? If you like Severus please read and review!

In Reverie

I sigh deeply and let my usual
mask slip out of place.
I curse myself loudly,

Tears find me too easily these days.

I close my eyes tiredly and
yet sleep would not come.
And I am forced once again
to let myself succumb,

To the unease of worry for
the things that are unknown.
My face betrays these feelings
that are often left unshown.

For I will never let these
random people see,
the anxiety and fear that
will not let me be.

I cannot afford to trust
it's priced to high to pay.
Betrayal is too common
and secrets just won't stay.

And so I am alone and it's
a blessing and a curse.
I chide myself softly for
I know it could be worse.

So I renew my resolution and
wipe away my silent tears.
Knowing they were my weakness
the acknowledgement of my fears.

And so I slip my mask back on,
knowing my lament was for naught.
I'll go on and nurse myself quietly
the broken child the world forgot.

This is again one of my Severus poems which hit me last night at 4 in the morning! Damn you Severus!

Severus turns around and gives miss sheree a death glare, "Don't blame me you impertinent child! You're the one who keeps thinking about me!"

Miss sheree smiled wickedly at Severus before she latches on to him exclaiming, "Can you blame me? You're gorgeous!"

Severus rolls his eyes, "Unhand me, you- you dunderhead!" miss sheree laughs evilly and responds "Never!!!"

Please be kind and REVIEW. Did you like the poem???
