A Lonely Man's Death

He sank slowly,
not just to his knees,
but to Death.

His life short lived.
Dying a murderer,
a coward,
scoundrel.

Yet if his heart had a word,
He would've risen higher.
Not just to Grace,
but to God.

His life long loved.
Living as a friend,
a lover,
saint.

slightly written about the death of Severus Snape, including key aspects of Rita Skeeter's novel. Yet still different because I chose to use 'God.' Something which I tend to keep separate from Harry Potter.
