The Saga Of Severus Snape Poem by Chitra Bisht

Dear Harry

You are Lily's boy
And you have her eyes
Reasons enough for me
To help save your life

When Lily was murdered
I too, felt the pain
My love was lost
Held her, cried, all in vain

Part of her was alive in you
Tried my best to watch over you
Felt her presence everywhere
Everyday, when I saw you

Quiddich, snake and much more
You proved to be a heavy responsibility
Arrogance in you was from James' side
A trait which I totally despised

I loved you always secretly
My love for Lily was also hidden
She was my soulmate even after she was gone
Could never share how much I was smitten

Never revealed my real emotions,
My harshness was my veil
A spy, a teacher, a lover
Trying to save my pupil

In death, I finally found
A way to reveal what is true
Never hated you, was just trying to protect you
ALWAYS loved Lily, always loved you
