summary: because it wasn't love / lily, free verse, lilyteddyvictoire if you squint

a/n: lily free verse for the c/p claw machine, royal au. this wasn't really an au but it had lots of royal terms?

also, first time writing free verse. i don't know how i feel about this, though.


you're a princess

[ face it ]

you aren't a dreamer like lucy,

[you don't go insane looking for narnia]

or a scholar like rose,

[you don't drown yourself in books]

or a troublemaker like roxanne and james.

[you don't pretend to be happy and foolish]

not even a queen like victoire.

[you'll never control your life]

you sit on your {small} throne,

{force} a smile, {reluctantly} sit still,

and keep your mouth shut

{because no one wants to hear about the darling potter child's jealously}

because princess shouldn't be jealous

{ and shouldn't rebel }

and that's probably why you rebelled


because it wasn't love,

[ face it ]

love doesn't taste like revenge and too sweet sugar

love shouldn't include hiddensmirks and bubblingjealously

love couldn't be born from stifledrage and coldhearts

[even though a cold palace breeds cold hearts]

because it was jealously&rage&revenge&rebellion

{ not love }


are you happy now ?

because you stole everything from the queen with your redred lips

her loving prince,

her promising future

her gold throne

her glittering crown

her happily ever after

are you finally happy?

no?

not even with your prince&future&throne&crown&happilyeverafter?

cause, darling, you're no longer a {dainty, fragile, silent} princess

you're a {strong, powerful, cold} queen.
