Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Everywhere I turn, I hurt someone
Severus had hurt many people within his lifetime.
Not a day went by he didn't regret joining the Death Eaters.
Every. Single. Day. He remembered.
He remembered Lucius Malfoy. Promising him a family, of sorts. A place to belong.
Nothing he could do could fix those happy families he had so willingly torn apart.
He remembered Lily.
But there's nothing I can say to change the things I've done
Many a time Severus planned how he would explain himself if she had survived.
It would be easier that way! Just the two of them. Like the old days.
The only days Severus had been truly happy.
Hell! He wouldn't mind if the baby had survived! He'd help her raise little Harry.
He would do anything to make up for his past mistakes.
But she hadn't survived.
There was nothing he could say. Because there was no Lily to say it to.
I'd do anything within my power
I'd give everything I've got
But the path I seek is hidden from me now
In his desperation, he had joined the Order of the Phoenix.
The organization he had sworn to fight against.
He would do anything in his power to protect Lily's baby.
The baby had her eyes.
Lily, I let you down
You trusted me, believed in me
and I let you down
She had trusted him.
He was no better than Pettigrew.
Of all the things I hid from you
I cannot hide the shame
And I pray someone, something will
come, to take away the pain
Severus closed his eyes as he watched the Potter boy collect his memories.
The memories of the only love he had ever known. Lily.
He looked into Potter's eyes. Her eyes.
Lily, I let you down.
There's no way out of this dark place
No hope, no future
I know I can't be free
But I can't see
another way
I can't face another day.
Lily begged to differ.
She watched her son- her precious baby, grow up and eventually have babies of his own.
You didn't let me down, Sev. Thank you.
