Oh, what I wouldn't give

 

to turn back time

 

and ruin the phrase

 

I had foolishly said

 

"Mudblood."

 


 

And oh, how I wish

 

I'd carved our names

 

into the tree

 

where I first saw her do magic

 

LE+SS

 


 

Maybe she would've loved me

 

but now I see him

 

hold her hand

 

and embrace her

 

my darling, Lily Evans

 


 

But she is Evans

 

no more

 

She has taken his name

 

a disgusting name - Potter

 

yet I cannot hate her for it

 


 

In a cage she has put my heart

 

and she gave the key to him

 

oh, he threw it to the Mauraders

 

to deal with it, their way

 


 

They've turned the key into a nail

 

to build their married house

 

So now I am forgotten

 


 

But, still

 

I await, in my dungeon cage

 

Waiting

 


 

Perhaps the heir

 

of those emerald eyes

 

will take the time

 

to pick the lock

 

and set me free

 

from her betrayal

 


 

Yet I cannot hate her

 

for her deeds

 

for she will always be

 

my Lily Evans

 

in my heart

 


 

This is my ode

 

to Lily Evans

 

oh, how I wish

 

she could hear me

 

when I say

 

"I love you."
