Oh little Tom Riddle,
Why don't you cry?
Unlike the other children,
your dark eyes stay dry.
Oh little Tom Riddle,
Don't you feel pain?
When a needle draws blood,
you don't scream my name.
Oh little Tom Riddle,
Why won't you smile?
Not even a laugh,
every once in a while.
Oh little Tom Riddle,
Such a strange little boy.
I've never seen a child
who refuses a toy.
Oh little Tom Riddle,
This must not be skin deep.
I fear as you age,
you'll be harder to keep.
