All Alone

All Alone

Where once was light

Now darkness falls

Where once was love

Love is no more

I had been the most popular guy in Hogwarts and all the professors had high expectations for me. Of course, I had high expectations for myself as well, and so I immersed myself in my studies. I received the top grades, all the professors loved me, but I know they never really, truly cared. No one ever did. I didn't have a happy childhood and my inner darkness slowly crept forward. The only time I was happy was at Hogwarts, and then I was betrayed and the part of me that was happy, was gone and all I had was the darkness.

Don't say - goodbye

Don't say - I didn't try . . .

I went out of my way to be kind to people, and to one person in particular. And then it was all thrown right back in my face. I tried, and I was shunned. My friends abandoned me.

These tears we cry

Are falling rain

For all the lies

You told us

The hurt, the blame!

You said you loved me, but it was all a lie. I saw you, that day in the library, and I knew, from then on, I could trust no one. My friends, my so-called friends, it was all a lie. They betrayed my trust and turned against me. They have no idea of the anguish that I went through, the loneliness that I felt, how horribly I suffered. But they will know when I come for them in the end.

And we will weep

To be so alone

We are lost!

We can never go home

I was left to my own devices and what was I to do, except to turn to the only thing that never betrayed me: books. I learned all that I could, for one day I would make all that who betrayed me pay. The darkness soothed me and helped me realized my full potential. I had abandoned the weak part of myself and I knew that there was no turning back.

So in the end

I will be- what I will be

No loyal friend

Was ever there for me

Surrounded by smiling faces, laughter, and all anyone saw was the most popular guy, surrounded by all his friends. Well, they were wrong. I did not have one true, loyal friend in that group. They just hung around me because they saw me as someone to look up to. They didn't care about me. If I died the next day, they wouldn't think twice. They would just find someone else to idolize and leave me rot. But I would become the most powerful wizard and then they would see what I have become and realize that they should have not betrayed me.

Now we say - goodbye

We say - you didn't try . . .

Muggles, they were the core of my betrayal, for there had never been one Muggle that was ever kind. And Mudbloods were just as bad, for they were tainted with Muggle blood. All I read when it came to Muggles were that they were starting into another war of theirs. And over the most insignificant things. They could not be trusted with knowledge and if they had what the wizarding world possessed, they would act like the children they are and destroy everything. That is why they must go.

These tears you cry

Have come too late

Take back the lies

The hurt, the blame!

You, my so-called friend, will beg before me when you see that the end is before you, and I will not feel one ounce of sympathy, for you never showed me any. It is too late for you and you will pay. You hurt me deeply and for that, I will never forgive you.

And you will weep

When you face the end alone

You are lost!

You can never go home

I sat in the back of the pub, observing the many witches and wizards that passed through, watching as they sat in deep conversation, some loud, some soft. They had no idea what was coming, I thought, smiling over the edge of my paper. Well, they all left me, leaving me to fend for myself. I was all alone and I made the choice.

You are lost!

You can never go home

The boy that was Tom Marvolo Riddle is no more.

I am Lord Voldemort
