"Sonnet, Severus"
by XellAn-Chan

There are some qualities -some inner things
that give a person life, which thus is built
a type of character which springs
from days and experiences and guilt.
There is a double personality -evil and good-
hate and love. One dwells in a shattered heart,
lost in blackness, innocence torn apart,
childhood memories, a horrid mood,
leave him fragile: his name's "Okay Dude."
This is the unknown Severus: dread him not!
No powers hath he in evil himself;
but should some casual insult (His temper's hot!)
bring you to meet his wrath (fear for yourself,
for you will have some really horrid days)
prepare for revenge, it is one of his ways!
