Severus Snape's Lament
Title: Severus Snape's Lament
House: Hufflepuff
Word Count: 100
Character: Snape
Challenge: Bound
I am bound.
A captive.
There is no escape.
My oath in manacles about my wrists.
Flesh pregnated with my vows.
My words running through my veins,
Owning me, claiming me, binding me.
Sickened at what my voice has pledged.
My tongue and hand and wand the cause of deaths.
I sought to loose my bonds. I begged to be cut free.
Instead my life became a sham; I was bound anew.
For a while I could pretend my ties were gone,
Until they tightened: now I cannot break my chains.
There is no escape.
A captive.
I am bound.
