Lavinia

by Witty Eagle Proud Ravenclaw

Lavinia knows Mary is in love with Matthew. And Mary knows that Lavinia knows. This is Mary's poetic plea to the redhead to forgive her and make sure she ensures her own happiness. My first Downton fic.

Lavinia

Author Note: Julian Fellowes' brainchild, not mine - I wish!

What will you do if you get lonely?

And nobody's standing by your side?

I've been running and hiding much too long.

You know it's just my foolish pride.

Lavinia, you've got me on my knees, Lavinia.

I'm begging, sweetheart please, Lavinia.

Sweetheart won't you ease my troubled mind.

I falsely gave congratulations,

When your face never showed a frown.

Like a fool, I'd fallen for Matthew.

You turned my whole world upside down.

Lavinia, you've got me on my knees, Lavinia.

I'm begging, sweetheart please, Lavinia.

Sweetheart won't you ease my troubled mind.

Let's make the best of the situation,

Before I finally go insane.

Matthew said, we'll never find a way,

Which tells me all my love's in vain.

Lavinia, you've got me on my knees, Lavinia.

I'm begging, sweetheart please, Lavinia.

Sweetheart won't you ease my troubled mind.
