For Lily

Summary:

A poem from Snape's P.O.V.

Work Text:

I loved you all my life
And you never even knew
All the good that I have ever done
I did it all for you

Back when I first saw you
With your stupid muggle kin
I knew that you were special
When you flew off that swing

My heart nearly skipped a beat
As you picked a flower next to me
Even though I was hidden
I could clearly see

You always did love flowers
But I guess you never knew
That I also loved a flower
And I thought she loved me too

You defended me from Marauders
From Potters little friends
Then I snapped and called you 'Mudblood'
And you won't let me make amends

I didn't mean to say it
I was mad at Potter not at you
But now you won't speak to me
And I don't know what to do

Now I see you both together
The stag with his loving doe
It hurts so much to see you
How much? You'll never know

And now your carrying his child
And I've died a bit inside
I've sold my soul to Voldemort
Just like I always tried

And I'm telling him a prophecy
Ignorant to what it said
Your baby boy who has your eyes
It's my fault now he's dead

But he didn't die that fateful night
You gave your life instead
You and James lay down your lives
While I lay you in your death bed

But I will protect your baby boy
That wretched Potter's son
He looks like James but has your eyes
And now the deal is done

I agreed to spy for Dumbledore
And lie to my Dark Lord
I agreed to teach your Harry Potter
And led him to Gryffindors sword

In a way it was because of you
That both wars came to an end
Your sacrifice for Harry
And the silver doe I send

And now he seeks my council
I feel my oncoming death
I see your green eyes shinning
As I take my final breath
