A/N: This is my first poem, so please be nice. ^^; This is from Ginny's
point of view, talking about her experience with Tom Riddle. No romance.
It's rather creepy...

Blood-red

All by myself
I was alone
In a blood-red world
That I own
Where the chained
Are eaten soon
By the white
Pearly Moon
Where the Earth
Is covered in fire
And all are dying
In this red pyre
Where Persia's sand
Holds down my hands
This I own
I was alone.

And then you came.

You brought me relief
You soothed my pain
All in hopes that
My anguish would wane
I was going to
Be eaten soon
By my white
Pearly Moon
I was chained
You set me free
I would be anything
You wanted me to be
I would do anything
You wanted me to do
I was forever
Indebted to you.
My anguish did wane
For you soothed my pain.

And then you tortured.

I killed
I spied
I ran
I cried
I didn't know
What was happening
I began to think
I did those things
Where people turned
Hard as bone
Scared as thunder
Cold as stone
"They've been Petrified,"
From a snake I heard
And, strangely enough,
Understood every word
I began to think
That it was you
And I knew
Just what to do;
Down into water
I threw you away
So your curse
Could come off someday
You were a liar! A traitor!
A thief!
You took advantage
Of my every belief,
My every dream,
My every thought,
And your big show
I had bought.
I spied...
I cried...

And then you went to another.

I saw you
Just sitting there
Lying there
On his chair
Next to his bag
And all his books
I knew right then
That he had took
You from the water,
From your hiding place;
You did not just come
Floating through space
I took you back
During lunch hour
But he put so much stuff
On you, I had to scour
Through quills, parchment,
Books galore;
I began to wonder
If there was any more
When I found you
And I shook my head
Knowing that today
Your curse would not end
'Till I destroyed you,
Once and for all,
I could not wait
For you to fall
Down into your heart
Without family or friend
And wait for the time
That Eternity ends.

And then you killed.

You possessed me
Again!
I asked you
To tell me when
You would let me go;
You began to hack
With laughter, then said
"You're not going back."
We got to our place,
The secret Chamber
And then you rose
Out of the paper;
At the same time,
I was falling away
Into my heart,
Where I knew I would stay
All by myself
With no family or friends
And wait for the time
When Eternity ends
Voldemort would come,
Back with a boom,
And drag mankind
Down to it's doom.
You had possessed me
Once again...

And then you were gone.

I opened my eyes
Wide with fright
My body feeling like I had
Fallen from a great height
You were gone
Everything was okay
I knew then that I was
Not going to stay
Down in the Deep of my heart
In Time's bend
And I would not see
Eternity's end
And for this I was happy
For I was now well
I had feeling that
My second year would be swell.

But...

Most people would say that there's
Nothing to gain from this kind of horror
From being repeatedly shoved
Into pure, abject terror,
Yet I say not so
And this is what I know:
I thought I had seen
All the blood to know
What it looks like
And how it flows,
But from this horror
This pure abject terror,
You have taught me,
And I now know this:
You alone have shown me
How red blood truly is.
