Roses and Butterflies

I can see where you are

I can tell you're enjoying this so far

I would love to escape, but now I'm bound

Draco fidgeted as he watched Pansy, who sat across from him. She was amused, although he wasn't sure why considering the situation at hand. He silently prayed for a miracle to come save him from the torture.

By the burn of your eyes

Looking on as I'm starting to realize

I'm a pawn in your game

And this is checkmate

As he glanced up, he caught her gaze. Her eyes burned into his soul and he was frozen. This wasn't good, he decided. This burning was not the kind that came from someone who actually cared about you. He knew he was being used. She never really cared about him, she just wanted the popularity. But then again, he never really cared about her either.

As the roses life their heads to catch

A glimpse of my demise

You'll be throwing lies around

Like ocean waves throw down the tide

He stared out the window, tuning out her explanation of where she was last night. He knew it was all lies. He knew she had been cheating on him. He didn't particularly care. He just wanted to be somewhere else, somewhere where she wouldn't find him.

And they are breaking on my shore

And the rescue team can't save me now

I'm out too far

But something told him he wasn't going to be saved. No one could save him. He had gotten himself into this mess; he would have to get himself out of it.

So I'll waste these nights for a while

But I'll be holding on to you forever

And this is where my heart is cold and torn

As I read the words you wrote last night

The butterflies are creeping through my spine

Glancing back to make sure she was still rambling; he rolled his eyes and turned to face the window. For some reason he knew he would never forget her. But he wasn't sure if that was good or not. He sighed as he visualized the note she had given him last night.

It had completely torn him apart. He knew what was coming after reading it, knew she was going to end this.

It's a thrill I can't shake

And I know we've been writing a mistake

But it's hard to erase the feelings I've drawn

He had known from the beginning that this wasn't going to work. He tried to tell her from the very start. Sure, along the way he had occasionally enjoyed himself, but that didn't change the fact that he knew it was wrong. And in the end, he would be the one torn apart by it.

I was caught in an awkward silence

Broken down by the sound of your prelude

That you wrote to open our symphony

I've been sleeping with the sunrise

Watching hours pass away

Incidentally I've been waiting for the dusk to kill the day

Now I'm waiting for your call

While I bang on this piano like you care at all

Sighing, he finally tuned in to what she was saying. He was right. It was exactly what he had expected. Shrugging, he pretended that he didn't care that she was going to tell. Tell everyone. But in reality, he did care. But he next time he would know better. Next time he wouldn't listen to any plan that Pansy had. Using her to make Hermione jealous just wasn't worth it, even if it was her idea. It hadn't worked anyway. Hermione had just ended up hating him even more. Next time, he wouldn't be so eager to listen to Pansy.

So I'll waste these nights for a while

But I'll be holding to you forever

And this is where my heart is cold and torn

As I hear the words you're saying tonight

I'm falling for them every single time

As the roses dip their heads a little further to the ground

There's a season change and all the pinks and whites are turned to brown

Will we make it through the fall?

Will we make it through this fall?

Cause I don't want to fall with you

I'm taken by your hope filled lines

They're well designed and dragging me along

I'll be waiting for this chance and I'll be gone

He listened carefully to her words, wanting to believe everything she was saying. He just couldn't take it anymore. He had to get out of this deal. Sighing, he waited for his chance to escape.
