Disclaimer: None of the characters that this is based on belong to me. But I do state truthfully that this poem is my own original work.

A/N: It's about Hermione and Severus. It's from Hermione's POV about how I think she'd feel if Severus hadn't survived the war. Enjoy!

Love, -NewFace

You And Me

Skin on skin

Heart on heart

Where do I end

And where do you start?

The soft gentle taste of your lips

The feel of your hand in mine

I know when the world stops

We'll still be just fine.

As I am jolted from my reverie

The cold chill of reality bites hard

My feelings burned into my soul

Leaving me torn then scarred.

You were the sun, bright and warm

You were also the moon, dark yet luminous

As moody as a storm.

I reach out to touch the air

And my hand slices through

Coming back empty again to me

Standing, a tear running down my face

Bound and not free

Held fast by your memory.

If I could go back and be younger

Maybe I would stop myself

My feelings would be placed

Upon a forgotten, dusty shelf

Your death changed me greatly

Your face in my blood

So tonight as I fall asleep

My head upon the pillow

A fresh new day tomorrow

A few moments with a whole heart.
