A/N: I don't own anything HP. :(
Dedicated to Tay, my amazing Beta. Thank you for tearing this poem to pieces and rebuilding it with me.
Behind pretty looks and a sugar-sweet smile you hide.
Staring at them with ill-disguised hatred in your eyes;
If looks could kill, most everyone would be dead and buried.
The prettiest looks hide the evillest souls.
For you shall be know as evil,
A hideous creature;
A cruel, twisted soul.
You were a maiden once, sweet and fair.
Time has stolen your innocence;
Replaced it with an embittered soul.
Lass no longer, an assassin of the dark.
When you were no longer a child,
Yet no world-hardened adult,
You sold your life and your soul;
Your chance at happiness to a madman.
The Light and the Dark hold out bloodstained hands,
Offering sweet things with twisted minds.
You chose the one that promised acceptance
And traded your trusting youth.
Wed you off to one of his followers,
From your wedding, to this day,
You aren't other than passing acquaintances'
Strangers to one another.
For your husband is that only in name.
He has not touched you once,
Since your wedding night.
No love, no life, no happiness,
Evermore.
You forsake your life,
To the Dark Lord.
Forever you shall rot
And atone for your crimes
In the black hole of Azkaban.
Yet, even now, on your dying day,
You will not abandon your life's cause.
You have met your equal,
For you were no match to a mother's love.
The Light has triumphed,
Smothered all your foul lies.
If only you had realized,
What power love holds over you.
