1. Snape's Death by XenaTwin

Snape's Death

Dark Lord's command, a serpent's bite
Deadly trap with coiling might
He leaves me there, no second glance
Mere broken tool he's spared no chance

The jaws release, free of the snake
But I know I'll fall and will not wake
Oh Dumbledore, I've failed the plan
No comfort, death takes every man

Then green eyes there, so like her own
They watch me now as I lay prone
"Take it" now, the silver thread,
No secrets soon, no truths unsaid

Fading now, just "Look at me"
But it's not his face I really see
His mother's gaze, my final view
My just deserts, long overdue

The end is near, my part is done
I only wish I knew they'd won
I did my best, the message passed
Now seeping life, I breathe my last

End Notes:

As always, reviews are my life :)
