she's absolutely clueless
and you love her for it
-x-
her w i d e – e y e d innocence
she knows what's happening
but not really
&& you want to protect her
-x-
"Please! Please… don't…"
-x-
they take her to "detention"
say she's a traitor
{rebel}
she deserves to be punished
t o r t u r e d
-x-
she's all chocolate eyes
&& panicked screams
and you can't stop it
-x-
you have to stay close
&& pretend she means nothing
nothing, she's nothing
if you save her now
they'll kill you
-x-
{then where's the prince to save her next time?}
-x-
"Crucio!"
-x-
&& you listen to her tortured screams
he notices
he's one of them
"Theo, why are you looking at that Ravenclaw traitor?"
-X-
your heart is pounding in your ears
her prince in r u s t y armour
but the princess is missing
gonestolenlosttaken
"Take her to St. Mungo's!"
-X-
you're

still
darling, she's never coming back
you've failed
-X-
you find her eventually
stiff and cold in a hospital bed
but she's safe
{ and isn't that all you've ever wanted?}
you're safe
she's safe
{well, at least she's alive}
where's the happy ending, sweetheart?
-X-
she's retreated inside herself
{the pain was just too much}
and he can't bear to look
she's just another AliceFrank
they aren't u n u s u a l any more
she can never speak
never move
never know you love her
maybe she'll wake up
maybe
{you just never got the chance to say goodbye}
-X-
everyday
you watch
wait
your world is
her ice cold hands
your breaking heart
and t h e n…
deep brown eyes
are open
