A/N This was written for the Diversity Challenge Round Six I have also submitted it to the Snapoetry thread on The Teacher's Lounge The premise being that we all know Snape is horribly emo. And what to emo people do but sit around and compose depressing poetry. So this is the last poem Snape ever composed. Having thought it out right after being attacked by Nagini
Strangled Dove
Summer, Summer bright and green
Butterflies wistfully dance
Open eyes of desire sharp and keen
Giving the heart a beating chance
Words of hate and pain spoke
Longing, desire, pain and hatred
Love and friendship forever broke
The soul torn open lust for power sated
The sun is setting into night
The death of life and love
The heart's been torn and taken flight
Strangled, broken, songless dove
The boy's eyes, like his summer love, green
Reminder of traitorous failures past
Guarding her son fate's intervened
His power and protection to the last
His body poisoned rips and tears
His heart slows look at me
Memories held fall like tears
His eyes grow dark he sees the green
