Farfar away
such a long time ago
(don't all fairytales start the same)
a p r i n c e s s was born
&she might have been just
perfect
...
her name was…
(oh, wouldn't you like to know)
withjadeeyesvermillionhair
childish laughter, whispered secrets by the lake
(the one only you and him know about)
LilyLuna Potter && TeddyLupin
...
but time is fickle
and suddenly you were all grown UP
naiveinnocentbeautiful
wanting
(needinglovingpleading)
the one you could never have
...
because how could you compete
the best friend, the Child,
with ocean e y e d wonder
and sparkling, shimmering blonde
the kind of p e r f e c t you have never been
...
so you changed the game
the WoRlD became your stage
the beautifulgorgeous - u n i q u e
the leading star in the spotlight
of brightbright lights, f a k e smiles
&&& happily (n)ever afters
...
goodbye I N N O C E N C E
hello PRETEND
...
now, all you know & all you a R e
redredred lips
& porcelain skin
&& shortshort skirts
&&& just a little br ok e n inside
...
so many boys, so little Time
(do you even remember their names)
...
you see them together
the perfectepic romance
s t a r - crossed lovers
meant to be
&& she's got what you'll never have
...
you are this girl
pretty - picture perfect
with a widewide grin and hair as red as fire
(but, she's not y o u, is she, darling)
you are h o l l o w inside
...
J e A l O u S y
...
you've never been one to give UP
'M O V E' on
so you trick him
(flirttease... F o o L)
you have him where you want him
finally, he's yours
...
(then why don't you feel any better, sweetheart)
...
in the morning, all you have is
'i'm sorry, it was a mistake'
and you s u d d e n l y hate that word
because all that you have left now
is the mirage, the façade, the make-believe
...
yes, darling,
you are the S T A R of this show
(don't you dare drop that smile)
the leading s t a r l e t
but, you ain't got no leading man
...
he's happy, he's in love,
don't you dare break the illusion
y o u are the only one at fault
(make piece with what you've g o t)
he's l i v i n g out his fairytale
...
Victoire W e a s l y & TeddyLupin
...
It's over, g i v e UP
I know it's a bit long, but what can I say, it got away from me. First attempt at freeverse, not too sure how I did. All criticism is welcomed and I most ardently (who says that word these days, anyways) encourage it. Please, no favouriting without reviewing. Matter of fact, I think it should be a rule here on FF. No alerts or favourites without a review first. Ah, the world would be a much better place then. jk ;D Still, I'd love to hear your opinion on this.
