For Anna, the only one who said she liked Cho/Cedric. We don't always agree, but that makes our conversations on the chat thread more interesting, thanks for being there so much, and listening to me :)

luv,

Nina


(clutching her torn teddy bear

her father's wand burning lines into

the diamond

until it *shattered*

and then a million little pieces of her five-year-old life

were lying broken on the floor)

grabbing teddy so tightly

that stuffing came out his ear

she still has him

she looks at him,

when she wants to remind himself

of the things that you should never break

(engagement rings)

[][]

(and promises)

like {why the hell would I die, Cho?}

an eighteen year old's immortality

because everyone dies

especially those invincible teenage boys

[][]

promises she make to herself

like onedayyou'llbeafamousquiddtichplayer,Cho

'cause crushed wings and a pile of scrap metal

will only build her a junkyard

[][]

promises like "I do,"

her mother running out the door

stepping on promises like broken leaves

and shards of ring

|and the crunching sound still echoes in her head|

[][]

promises like reality

and the way everything should be

because she really is

beautiful, whole, Ravenclaw, Cho

without any scars

(promise)

(she didn't come from a dysfunctional house

the neighbors once called the police

she sucked her thumb

brown eyes staring in awe

"but Mummy and Daddy yell like this every day,")

[][]

even stairs are promises

that break

because more often then not

the trick ones aren't there

{always leaving that funny jolt in her stomach}

when she falls through

and there's no one there to catch her

maybe it's called loneliness?

[][]

there are two things that should never be broken

(promises and wedding rings)

they're part of a promise called life

(one that she doesn't think she can make anymore)


ugh, this makes no sense. Enjoy anyway :D review, smile

luv,

Nina
