A/n- This is for the creepy quotes challenge. My line is: You never look into my eyes... are you scared of what you'll see?

I tried to hide them

The :u:g:l:y: scars

(My only |s|e|c|r|e|t|)

But you saw them

(Didn't you?)

Now I'm left

Wishinghopingdreaming

That you can understand the

|p|a|i|n| inside of me

Is this my punishment?

A :d:i:s:g:u:s:t:e:d: glance every once in a while

(You're almost meeting my stare)

But you're always careful not to, darling

You :n:e:v:e:r: look into my eyes

Are you scared of what you'll |s|e|e|?

Afraid to see the painsorrowhurt

Or the |m|a|s|k| the hides it all?

(I thought you were a Gryffindor though, honey)

Can you even tell the

:d:i:f:f:e:r:e:n:c:e:

Between the real me and the

Pretend?

Hell, I can't wishhopedream you can

(Because honestly, I can't tell them apart)

Because it's all I've ever |k|n|o|w|n|

(This game of fake happiness)

Did you :t:h:i:n:k: for one moment

I was happy?

Or did you :b:e:l:i:e:v:e: I was

Free of any |p|a|i|n|?

(You were always naïve)

Because I've dealt with painsorrowhurt

(Don't you understand?)

It must be a new concept

For |y|o|u| to understand

Since you've always gotten everything

Perfect grades

A unbreakable |h|e|a|r|t|

(As if it was made out of steel)

A beautiful girlfriend who adores you

All the :a:t:t:e:n:t:i:o:n:

While I was in the shadows of

Everyone's |a|c|h|i|e|v|e|m|e|n|t|s|

I wasn't brilliant like Rose

(But I made good grades)

I wasn't :b:e:a:u:t:i:f:u:l: like Victoire

(Is that why you chose her over me?)

I wasn't part /v/e/e/l/a/ like Dominique

With her silky blonde hair and crystal blue eyes

(No, I had flaming red hair and chocolate brown eyes)

I wasn't a |p|r|a|n|k|s|t|e|r| like James or Fred

(I was rather innocent)

But not too innocent like Louis

(He's only a second year, after all)

Large groups didn't /f/a/s/i/n/a/t/e/ me like Roxanne or Molly

(I preferred to be alone)

My |h|e|a|r|t| wasn't made of gold like Lucy's

(Not all of hearts can be gold, now can they, love?)

I couldn't be as :b:r:a:v:e: as Albus or James

(There was a reason I was placed in Hufflepuff)

And only I couldn't understand Quidditch like Hugo

(Sport's aren't my cup of pumpkin juice)

No, I was |m|e|

And no one else

Quietshytimid

-Lily-

Forever :s:t:u:c:k: in the background

Always overlooked and |m|i|s|u|n|d|e|r|s|t|o|o|d|

(Maybe that's why I have these scars on my wrists)

Maybe I wanted to be

N

O

T

I

C

E

D

For once in my short /l/i/f/e/

Or maybe it was a crypleadcall for help

And you were the one to hear it

Do you wish you |o|v|e|r|l|o|o|k|e|d| me?

Or you didn't :h:e:a:r: my screams for help?

But I'll understand if you can't look at me

After all, I'm |u|g|l|y| with these scars

(But I can never hide the truth from your eyes)

I can feel your hand under my chin

You say you /l/o/v/e/ me

But it's not the same way I |l|o|v|e| you

And it breaks my already /s/h/a/t/t/e/r/e/d/ heart

Into more pieces

You say you want to help me

(Is that you really talking?)

Can I be :f:i:x:e:d:?

Can I be |l|o|v|e|d|?

(I just need to be loved by the one I love)

A/n- I don't know why I'm so good at writing fics about people who cut. Trust me, I've never and will never cut. I've had several people around me cut so I can understand their feelings. This was longer than I expected. Was it good; was it bad? Please review.
