This is a BIG MOMENT for me. I've been completely obsessed with the 39 Clues for over a month now, but this is the first fic I'm putting up in that fandom. Yay!

My first ever Iamy poem! (- that actually worked... I tried to write two poems from Ian's perspective and none of them survived past the first four lines.)

Anyway, hope you enjoy. I like it well enough - but then again, I'm biased.


I don't know how long it was
After we met
That I first started to fall into
That sparkling silver net
That ambush they call love
That kept you in my dreams
It was perfect - at least,
That's how it seemed.

I wondered if perhaps
We'd gotten our signals crossed
Because there was no way you'd look at me
With that sort of trust
But in that single instant
When I felt your lips touch mine
You gave me wings and I almost
Felt like I could fly

But then you brought me crashing down
From an airy golden sky
Drove me back into the ground
And left me there to die
I tell myself I've gotten over you
And I try to just move on
But the memories still pull me back
To when it felt like we were one

No matter how I force myself
To stop it when I cry
No matter how I tell myself
It was all a lie -
You've got me
In the palm of your hand
I'm just a foolish butterfly
Trapped
In the amber of your eyes.


Didn't turn out the way I planned, probably because of the iffy rhythm and weird rhyming at the end. Then again, these things never turn out the way you think.

I'm planning a piece of fanart along the idea of this poem. I won't describe it to you because it sounds stupid put into words. But if I finish it, and if I finally get a deviantART account, I'll post it and put the link on my profile. Okay? So if you want to see it, subscribe to this story because I'm putting up an A/N if I ever get it done.

Also, review. Please.
