sum: and there's no happy ending to this story / Lylacentric; freeverse
a/n: My second oneshot today, even though this probably doesn't qualify as a oneshot but I've always wanted try some sort of experimental freeverse in my free time so here it is, :) This is also my first submission in the Mako Mermaids fandom, so I hope that everybody likes this; please leave a review!
out here the good girls die
.
.
.
it starts with being reckless
( beware of the good girls ; and suddenly they're all gone
and you're crying and the tears and you're just
FALLING / DOWN; THE WORLD WON'T STOP SPINning
and switching colors and who's who?
down, bro ken into pieces and it's not just bent because they're gone
all you've ever wanted was to be wanted
.
you're not going to be leaving;
you prefer the term beginning again
let yourself c-h-a-n-g-e
but is it for the good&bad&good&bad —
and suddenly you're fallingandFallingandFalling and
they're just little pieces of Lyla scattered across the ground like you were never there in the first place
.
you have them; your sisters, though
that's really all that's supposed to remember
but you'll neverneverNEVER forget the look on his !don't say his name! face
zac
zaczaczac
and he's everywhere
he's in your mind and he's in the water and he's in your dreams/NIGHTMARES
.
dried out
like a fish out of sea (literally) you smile and try to move along
you're never going to be the one to fit in
sirena's pretty and david's in love with her
nixie's weird but cam thinks that she's cute
and you're just plain old lyla, stealing other people's boyfriends
nobody looks twice at this d*a*m*s*e*l in ((distress+need]
.
sometimes you're in the sea
but you're alone because the voices keep on coming back
NOBODY LOVES YOU; YOU'RE A BITCH AND YOU DESERVE TO DIE
but mermaids can't die&drown ((you prefer the term; sleep —
rapunzel, darling, let your hair down;
but there's no happy ending to this story
it's for the b/e/t/t/e/r or worse...
.
and along the way, she falls in love with him.
"just admit it, lyla, you're attracted to zac. it just makes you human," nixie tells her one day
but like usual, she's always the one to say the wrong words; perhaps, not everything has changed since the full moon and their days with the pod. Not everything has changed, and it's enough to keep moving on, hoping for everything to return back to normal.
( but it will never go back ; nevernevernever —
but you never wanted it go to back to normal
you want him to fall in love with you but out here;
the good girls die
.
please leave a review, :)
