For Mystii's Prompts: castle, faults, moonshine, just like mother
Dedicated to Mad (chasingafterstarlight) because she's a wonderful friend and writer and I love her and she's been going through a tough time lately, and I hope this will cheer her up, at least a little. I love you, Mad!
star light, star bright
i wish i may, i wish i might
have the wish i wish tonight
-:-
heartbreak
it's not meant for pretty little girls
is it?
yet it still twists your life
turns it upsidedown&insideout
whirling shadows into the
happiest of f a i r y t a l e s
sweetheart, weren't you innocent?
just a pretty little girl
just like mother
just rose
redred curls & blueblue eyes
friendly smiles & no goodbyes
a kingdom awaits you,
darling flower queen
come claim your throne
next to the tempest king
a handsome young man
all moonshinehair&icecoldeyes
he says he loves you
but, oh! darling!
be careful what you wish for
(you just might get it all)
-:-
oh, how the castle shines for you!
king&queen, romeo&juliet
perfection sings your graces
malfoy&weasley, scorpius&rose
first a whirlwind of rebellion
a charming smile across a crowded room
a glance, a touch, a shylittlesmile
trying not to stare just a little too much
"May I have this dance?"
satin glove meets silver ring
black silk against red chiffon
twirl around the dance floor
it's the best night of your life
and you dance, that evening
dance with your rebel, juliet
dance like the queen you are
(because, darling, soon enough,
it'll all come crashing down)
-:-
build a gleaming castle of cards
secret touches in velvet darkness
kisses illuminated by starlight
rebellion is such a thrill
(but is it worth it?)
in the light of the moon,
he draws you close, whispers
"I love you."
and you – silly little girl – believe him
maybe you're not
just like your mother
maybe you're not
the brightest witch of her age
maybe you're not even
the juliet to scorpius's romeo
maybe you're rose
just rose
just a girl who wants
to s h i n e
everybody has their faults
and darling, you're a dreamer
have you yet to realize?
dreams don't always come true
-:-
out of the castle,
seventeen years young
ready to face the w o r l d
with him at your side
who knew, darling?
it's a scary big world out there
so easy to get lost,
to lose your way
a champagne glass b-r-e-a-k-s
wine spills, blood-red, over the carpet
marked-stained-ruined-permanent
is this fate's idea of irony?
words s p i l l like wine
down
down
down
a laugh, choked out
"Maybe this isn't working."
even dreamers can notice
the way his eyes w a n d e r
linger on prettysmiles&firecurls
on a princess (instead of a queen)
"Maybe it's not."
he leaves
and your gleaming castle of cards
comes crashing down
-:-
did your wish come true?
no?
don't give up hope
every castle crumbles
but stars are forever
