Disclaimer: I am not amazing enough to own Harry Potter.

----------------------------------------------------------

I heard you crying

last night.

It was really late

and you were curled up

in a chair

in the common room.

I had considered

approaching you

but finally

decided against it.

I sat on the stairs,

covered by the dark.

The fire shed light

on your face

and I could see

the tear stains.

Oh how I longed

to comfort you!

But you would

never accept my comfort.

You would say

I'm just as bad

as the person

who did that to you.

Your sobs wrenched

at my heart

and I wanted to die.

If only you knew

the pain I felt.

But you are

wrapped up

in your own pain,

grieving your loss.

If only that- that-

I can't even think

of a word

ugly enough to

describe him-

If only he knew.

If only you knew.

AN: I'm gonna add two more poems to this. One from Lily's POV and one from Snape's. Promise to update soon.
