oh, honey

\o\p|e/n/ your eyes

don't you even dare

because he won't, you know he won't

won't remember when you two were soinlove

won't remember when the s^k^y was a salty blue s~e~a

and the .s.a.n.d. brushed against your skin like a thousand tiny [reminders] of—

(of what?)

.

oh, honey

shake your head

don't you even think

he was there, but that doesn't mean he should know

know why you look at him too fondly across the classroom

know why you don't stop smi~ling after he looks away

and brush the xcxoxbxwxexbxsx of reality away from your eyes so you can—

(can what?)

.

oh, honey

*f*o*r*g*e*t* your follies

don't you even try

even his name (scorpius, scorpius malfoy) .::screams::. forbidden

forbidden from in[teracti]on, frien[d]ship, mo[]re

forbidden from what your soul )a)che(s( for in the small hours of the morning

and can only be satiated when you're fully, finally in a world filled with—

(with what?)

.

oh, honey

{a[c(ce)p]t} your fate

don't you even pretend

because it's not real, that |curséd| world you love so dearly

dearly you think of him (scorpius, you call to him)

dearly he thinks of you (rose, he whispers gently)

and all is well in your *saccharine* universe built for—

(built for 0two0.

a universe built for 0two0

a world filled with lies

engineered so you can dream

of the .s.a.n.d. and the s^k^y and the s~e~a

and so it doesn't [remind] you

that even though it's built for 0two0

it's only inhabited

by 0ne.)
