__Severus Snape__





My heart pounds when he is near



Though, I can't say so, 'cause I'm frozen in fear





His expression is dark to hide his heavy heart

And I just want to hold him tight, to mend his shattered soul

But I know that I cannot, although I truly wish

I wish to take him in my arms, for a warm and gentle kiss

To keep him safe and keep him warm, and never let him go

To protect him from his own tortured nightmares, to let him wake in my warm embrace

To let him cry on my shoulders, the tears I know he sheds

To cure the illness of his spirit, to kiss his tears away

I know his past, I know his former pain

I know of all the things he's done, and yet here I remain

I don't care about what he's done, or all of those he's killed

I know that he was once quite dark, but now he is quite good

I wish that I could keep him close, for better or for worse

I wish I could just love him, to have him as my own

But when he sees me staring off, dreaming about him during class,

He doesn't seem to notice, the love that's in my eyes.

Perhaps he is just waiting, for me to become more mature

Maybe then he'll let me love him, like I always wanted to.



So until happens, I'll just watch him teach with lust

Waiting for the time when he sheds his reticence (and his robes) to me

When along with the pale skin beneath his midnight-black robes,

He reveals his soul in his deep, mesmerizing black eyes

When he tells me he loves me and was watching me, too

When he finally realizes that we were always meant to be
