Nobody's Side

The challenges around me

Are growing more immense.

I’m always having to think fast.

Half of Albus’s instructions

Are barely making sense.

My double agent role can’t last.

But I cannot forget my past!

That’s why I'm on nobody's side.

When Dark Lord gives instructions

Dictating my every move,

He’s getting harder to deceive.

How long can this continue?

My Patronus would prove

What I am trying to achieve,

But Dumbledore won’t let me leave!

So both sides see me the same,

So both sides still curse my name,

That’s why I’m on nobody's side!

I’ve learned to go it alone.

For Lily I have to atone,

That’s why I’m on nobody's side.

My love for Lily Evans

I refuse to leave behind,

And I don't want to let it go.

He thinks no servant’s faithful

So he invades my mind.

There's one thing I can’t let him know:

My love cannot begin to show!

Dumbledore has many a plan.

I sometimes hate that old man,

That’s why I’m on nobody's side.

Never had a woman in bed,

Can’t get Lily out of my head,

That’s why I’m on nobody's side.

Never indulge any vice,

Never use the same excuse twice,

That’s why I’m on nobody's side.

So both sides see me the same,

So both sides still curse my name,

That’s why I’m on nobody's side!

I never speak a moment too soon

Lest I end up sealing my doom,

That’s why I’m on nobody's side.

Not loyal to either one,

I’m just protecting her son,

That’s why I’m on nobody's side.

Always making someone believe

They won’t be the one I deceive,

That’s why I’m on nobody's side.

Never trusting explicitly,

Always acting deviously,

That’s why I’m on nobody's side.
