Hero in Hell
Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter and never will. And that includes Severus Snape.
oOoOoOo
Slinking through the darkness
Shadows lapping your feet
Can't stumble, can't fall
Can't succumb to defeat
You stick to that face
The one completely straight
Can't let anything show
Can't fall for the bait
You stare death in the eye
All fire and pain
Hoping that the light is still lit
And hasn't extinguished in vain
For years you are trapped
In that closing ring of black
Keep your face forward
Too afraid to turn back
The choices got you
You chose the wrong one
So you are forever marked
With a sin that can't be undone
But a light is shining
In a far-away place
Through the night you see it
Like an ever-burning grace
So the darkness is fading
The light is growing brighter
You look death in the eye
And tell it you're a fighter
But the light is now here
All glitter and glare
And you're told to stay there
Under that fiery stare
So you're once more stuck
In the shadows and dark
Waiting for that burning
The sign of the mark
But you kept fighting
Kept rising when you fell
Because you are the hero
Alone in that monstrous hell
For Severus Snape
The undisclosed hero
