Disclaimer: GUESS WHAT! I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog...
A/N: Hiya! (or, I could say Wotcher! ...It might explain where I've been... Or just that I'm English, considering it's an English greeting...) I, I know, I haven't been active. Or rather I HAVE just not for Sonic the Hedgehog. You see, if you got the reference (which you probably didn't, it wasn't the most obvious reference in the world..) I have been exploring the Harry Potter universe. Also, if you're completely 100% major confused I am Cherrle. CherrleTheChicken. I've changed my penname. And my icon. ANYWAY, I've been in the HP universe and there is a lot of this type of poetry there. And I've kind of fallen in love with it. So here we go. Rouge has always been one of my favourite characters and I've always thought there was more to her rather than just a 'stupid slut'. So, here goes...
Darling,
Just give it up
This façade
This mask
Its c r a c k i n g
...
You can try your hardest
Strut around like you own the world
Play with that oh-so flirtatious smile on your lips
Smirk&&giggle&&tease
But honey, don't you see you're breaking?
...
You laugh at the silly little girls
And their ideas of perfect love
Of kisses in the rain
Of flowers and chocolates
Of being swept off their feet
(but that's really what you want, isn't it?)
Hide behind the flirtatious smile, the tight clothing, the makeup
Hide the scared little girl inside
((because that's all you are, really-
A little girl,
Scared of being abandoned again
+ again
+ again))
Hide-
Don't befriend the children
Don't cling to them
Stick with jewels-
Jewels can't fight back
Jewels can't hurt you
((just like everybody else))
...
Stop hiding
((Just for a second))
'Cause baby, you've found l o v e
+ maybe not the kind that keeps your heart
((fragile, broken heart))
Beating
It's not true love
Its protection baby, but that's what you need
It's
F r i e n d s h i p
(and you laugh at how corny you sound)
...
Not the kind that blue idiot
(He claims to know everything-
He claims he's seen the world-
He's just naïve)
Preaches about
This isn't perfect
(How could it be?
It's a cold robot and a killing machine)
But it's all the three of you need
...
Hide baby
Disappear
(just like all the other times)
Something's happened and you're s c a r e d
You've fallenfallenfallen
In l o v e
((surely not!
You're Rouge the Bat
Cocky && flirtatious && mean
You don't love
You lust
And then
You break))
But it's true, it's true
He's taken your
Bruised+broken
Heart
And he's made it
F l u t t e r
You kid yourself
Pretend you've only just realised
But baby, if you've only just realised then why have you stuck around?
Why haven't you left
Moved on
Like every other time?
...
But
YouCan'tLetHimIn
He tries to be nice
((sometimes))
And you pushpushpush him away
((Just in case
Just in case he
Breaks you))
So he
Gives up
And you
Fightfightfight
Scream until your throats are raw
Fight until you draw blood
Hurt until you're both shaking
(+ secretly
You love it))
...
Sometimes you wish to be like them
The little girls
To be innocent and
Not know the world around you
But you do.
Sometimes you wish to be whole again
You wish he could fix you
But baby how can you expect him to
If you won't ever let him in?
