Had Enough

Breaking Benjamin

Milk it for all it's worth

Make sure you get there first

The apple of your eye

The rotten core inside

We are the prisoners

Things couldn't get much worse

I've had it up to here

You know your end is near!

You had to have it all

Well have you had enough?

You greedy little bastard you

Will get what you deserve

When all is said and done

I will be the one

To leave you in your misery

And hate what you've become

Intoxicated I

No longer live that life

You should have learned by now

I'll burn this whole world down!

I need some peace of mind

No fear of what's behind

You think you've won this fight

You've only lost your mind!

You had to have it all

Well have you had enough?

You greedy little bastard you

Will get what you deserve

When all is said and done

I will be the one

To leave you in your misery

And hate what you've become

Hold me down

I will live again

Hold me down

I will break it in

Hold me down!

Better in the end

Hold me down!

You had to have it all

Well have you had enough?

You greedy little bastard you

Will get what you deserve

When all is said and done

I will be the one

To leave you in your misery

And hate what you've become

Heaven help you!

Heaven help you!

Milk it for all it's worth

Make sure you get there first

He despised the man. Absolutely loathed him.

The apple of your eye

The rotten core inside

And to think, he had once loved him. What a fool! Now, at least, he was free to hate him with all of himself. No little part of him hidden, no small part detached. No twisted bit of him conned into thinking he liked the way the man touched him.

We are the prisoners

Trapped inside himself.

Things couldn't get much worse

But it was far beyond that, even. The man was so despicable. Utterly horrid in the way he betrayed all who counted on him. The way he treated Harry. The way he had killed Dumbledore, had gone after only what he had wanted. Hadn't cared about how Harry felt. Had only left.

I've had it up to here

He had completely withstood all he could when it came to that man. Now, after he had killed Dumbledore, he was free of him. Perhaps he should be thankful. Instead he only felt frustration, anger, and hate.

You know your end is near!

Harry would do all within his power to take Severus Snape down.

You had to have it all

The man had taken him, made Harry his, in every way. What more was there?

Well have you had enough?

Now he pursued more.

You greedy little bastard you

And he hated him. Hated him.

Will get what you deserve

When all is said and done

At the end of this

I will be the one

It was him

To leave you in your misery

To see Snape for what he was

And hate what you've become

And loathe what he was.

Intoxicated I

The blood and pain was a quick relief from frustration and longing and hate and anger.

No longer live that life

He wasn't the man's whore anymore, damnit!

You should have learned by now

I'll burn this whole world down!

Now, with the man gone, he was free. So why did he not feel so?

I need some peace of mind

He was hardly likely to receive such comfort. As the days past, he realized his anger for what it was.

No fear of what's behind

He no longer feared his memories.

You think you've won this fight

The man had left him. Did he think he had won?

You've only lost your mind!

Sometimes he thought he truly was insane.

You had to have it all

You had taken me

Well have you had enough?

You used me

You greedy little bastard you

And then you left me

Will get what you deserve

The anger was not leveled at Snape for the man's excellently placed killing curse. It was frustration and hurt and pain that fueled the anger this time. Helpless, all he could do was hate the man who had left him like so much trash.

When all is said and done

Never to mind that, he would get his.

I will be the one

He would be the one to retaliate.

To leave you in your misery

Snape would wish he had never left.

And hate what you've become

Snape would be sorry.

Hold me down

He had been repressed by the man for nearly three years.

I will live again

And now he grew, anger and hurt and frustration fueling his growth.

Hold me down

No matter his memories

I will break it in

He would risk everything

Hold me down!

He needed Snape, and that, more than anything, angered him beyond reason.

Better in the end

But his end would be his, and his alone.

Hold me down!

You had to have it all

Now, here he was.

Well have you had enough?

Snape was on top of him. Inside him.

You greedy little bastard you

His hate fueled passion

Will get what you deserve

His rage left marks

When all is said and done

Now the man began to walk away.

I will be the one

"Don't leave," a statement, more than a request.

To leave you in your misery

Snape's retreating back.

And hate what you've become

"I hate you," his whisper was so quiet. Yet it was filled with the year of emotions he had endured. Snape remained silent as he moved away.

"I love you," this was even quieter, and in that moment, he found he meant it far more than he had the previous comment.

"Heaven help you, Potter. Do the angels even listen to you anymore? No. They turned their backs on you long before this. It's a pity, really, that you wandered into my classroom, so many nights ago…" and then he was gone, leaving Harry in a shivering mess of a person.

Heaven help you!

"Heaven help me?" he screamed, knowing that no one was there to hear him. "Heaven help me…" he repeated this, quietly, to himself, a he curled up on the disgusting floor of the cellar he was kept in.

He had allowed Voldemort to capture him. Anything to become closer to the man. At first he had envisioned violent revenge. But soon he realized his delusional state. He could never enact such revenge when he wanted something so much more. Something so completely different.

Heaven help you!

And he had received what he so sought.
