Chapter 1

staring at the sea

will she come?

is there hope for me

after all is said and done


He stood there, on the brink of the abyss and watched the waves below him. He stood there thinking for long moments.

anything at any price

all of this for you

all the spoils of a wasted life

all of this for you


He thought back on his life, as such as it was. He was disappointed with it. Was it all worth it? Did the end really justify the means? He thought about all the people they had lost and couldn’t help but to think that he was to blame, that it was his entire fault.

all the world has closed her eyes

tired faith all worn and thin

for all we could have done

and all that could have been


Once again, the wizarding world had turned their backs on him. Now that he had done his job, now that he had defeated Voldemort, they didn’t have any more need for him. On some level he knew they blamed him for how many they had lost. They didn’t seem to want to understand that in war, they were going to have loses. He could tell by the looks he got that they expected him to pull them through everything without them having to sacrifice anything. They had placed so much on his young shoulders. It was to big a burden for him to carry and now that things were finished, now that his job was done….. well, it didn’t really matter what he did.

ocean pulls me close

and whispers in my ear

the destiny i’ve chose

all becoming clear


He could hear the sound of the waves breaking below him, lulling him into a false sense of security. But it didn’t matter, he had made up his mind long ago and now it was just a matter of follow through.

the currents have their say

the time is drawing near

washes me away

makes me disappear


He could feel the pull of the abyss stretched out before him and new that everything would be over for him in a few moments. He wasn’t worried or even concerned about how it would feel till it was finished. He was looking forward to those that had gone before him, comforted with the thought that he would get to see the ones that he loved and loved him back soon. There was one that he was looking forward to seeing again more then any other. His lover. That thought wrapped itself around his heart and he closed his eyes, remembering what had happened to him. It still brought tears to his eyes, two years later. Voldemort had shown no mercy when he had found out that Snape had not only been spying for Dumbledore, but had been having a relationship with him. Voldemort’s wrath was great and he had taken it completely out on Snape. How the man had managed to survive long enough to get to Harry and say good bye was something he was going to ask him about.

i descend from grace

in arms of undertow

i will take my place

in the great below


He stretched out his arms and let himself fall from the cliff, watching the water rushing up to meet him. He plunged in and felt himself sinking and then he was free. He opened his eyes and found himself looking into the eyes of his lover.
