Ooh. This is quite obviously about Voldemort.


Friends With The Night

I have been friends with the night.

I have explored the night, and come back safe.

I have outwalked the furthest gleam of light,

Along that quiet, quiet path of shadows.

I have seen the saddest, the most gruesome things,

I have read about the most obscure things,

And I came, and I conquered all these things.

I have heard, when I was young, of happy, joyful cries,

And I had stopped my feet to listen and hope,

But they came over houses from another street,

And it was not to call me back or say good-bye.

Now they say that I am a monster, a snake,

Cold, cruel, without a speck of emotion,

And even those who believe in that goodness is in everyone,

Have hated me and turned their backs on me.

I have been friends with the night.


Review please! Oh wait- is there a way to separate the lines into noticeable stanzas?
