A/N/Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, I just twist their minds and make them insane. Dedication at bottom.

Tears of Blood

It's like I'm crying tears of blood

Into my pillow I grip so tight.

No one must know, so I never let go

As I run away from the Night.

I need to cry red tears of blood

To make up for the tears I've shed.

Cuts go deeper when you laugh.

Scars mark me where I have bled.

No one can understand how I feel.

Pain is temporary, barely real.

Others taunt and others tease,

That's why the pain will never ease.

My tears may fall

Shadows may haunt,

But you won't have to see me ever again.

Take a piece of my tattered soul, take all!

Let them tease, let them taunt.

They don't have to look at me and see

Red slashes of hatred of me.

The other sixth year Gryffindors crowded in their common room, around the dead body of Ginny Weasley.

Dedicated to M. Stewart. Don't take your precious life. It means too much to leave behind.
