Burn

[Lily]

I saved every memory you told me

From the moment you told them

I knew you were mine

You said you were mine

I thought you were mine

Do you know what Petunia said

When we saw your first letter arrive?

She said, "Be careful with that one, love

"He will do what it takes to survive"

You and your words flooded my senses

Your sentences left me defenseless

You built me palaces out of paragraphs

You built cathedrals

I'm remembering the memories you told me

I'm searching and scanning for answers in every line

For some kind of sign

And when you were mine

The world seemed to burn

Burn

You published the letters she wrote you

You told the whole world

How you call this girl into a slur

In clearing your name

You have ruined our lives

Do you know what will Petunia said

When she found what you'd done?

She said, "You are friends with an Icarus

"He has flown too close to the sun"

You and your words obsessed with the dark arts

Your sentences border on senseless

And you are paranoid in every paragraph

How they perceive you...

You, you, you!

I'm erasing myself from the narrative

Let future historians wonder how Lily reacted

When you broke her heart

You have torn it all apart

I'm watching it burn

Watching it burn

The world has no right to my heart

The world has no place in our bed

They don't get to know what I said

I'm burning the memories

Burning the letters that might have redeemed you

You forfeit all rights to my heart

You forfeit the place in our bed

You'll sleep in your corridor instead

With only the memories of when you were mine

I hope that you burn

A/N: Snape, you fudged up.

I used some reference to young Snape told Lily all about the Wizarding world. It's critical to their friendship.

Thanks for tuning in, and hope you will have a great day. Stay safe as always and remember to take care of yourselves.

God Bless <3
