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?
