I was supposed to do a Teddy Lily drabble for Nutella Knighthawk and found that this was what came out instead I hope you all enjoy it :)
(I obviously do not own the rhyme at the bottom)
They say that she's
I N S A N E
Gone around the bend
Little Lily Potter ,oh what a tragedy it is.
They don't realise that she's never been
E N T I R E L Y
all there, that she's never been exactly right.
And no it wasn't daddy dearest's fame
That finally finished her off in the end or the endless drinking and smoking
NO!
What finally pushed Lily O V E R the edge
Was something so very normal, so very mundane, so very not Lily.
It was –You're going to be shocked- a
B
O
Y
Teddy Lupin was his name and lovely little Lily had been in
L
O
V
E
With him for as long as she could R E M E M B E R
She'd been so, so very, very happy back in the days when she could still play
Make Believe
And p r e t e n d that maybe, just maybe he loved her back
Then it all went wrong and Little Lily's fairytale DREAM was ruined
-She was made to wake up-
Her D R E A M was S H A T T E R E D along with her
*Fragile heart*
Teddy got *married* and suddenly Lily was left all alone
No more wonderful, happy make-believe for Lily
Because now she knew the truth
Teddy didn't love her and probably
NEVER HAD, never ever had.
Lily's Happily Ever After was just another *Never Ever After.*
-Join the Broken Heart Club Kid there's plenty of us here-
Drink, after, drink.
Boy after B O Y
*Scorpius, Lysander and Lorcan, Hugo, Louis and so many others she's forgotten their names*
(It doesn't even matter to her that some of them are her C O U S I N S)
She's way PAST caring.
The only person she can ever love is married and she's been left all forgotten.
Fifteen and HEARTBROKEN. Fifteen and already so very numb.
-Fifteen that's the year it all went wrong-
She grabs the fire whiskey bottle and takes a gulp
Fire burns down her throat and suddenly Lily is *alive*
-It's mad that these days her best friend is a bottle of booze-
But SANITY well (darling) it's overrated
Drink, Drink, Drink. Never, Never, Never. Sober, Sober, Sober.
When she's sober she's still partly sane
And Lily decided a long time ago that
S
A
N
I
T
Y
(Just isn't for her)
Twirling round the garden in a pretty dress
-She dances now in the rain-
Because slowly she's losing her grip on reality and she's
L O S I N G
What little sanity that she held
And she's laughing on the decent down to
WONDEFUL GLORIOUS INSANITY (A place where finally she's happy)
Kings and Queens. Princes and Princes.
Happily ever afters instead of Sadly Never Evers.
A place where she and TEDDY are t o g e t h e r
Happily mad.
Sanity's over rated
And insanity is truly a beautiful thing.
Teddy presses his lips to hers in the world that doesn't really EXIST
Lily doesn't need reality she's perfectly fine with her insanity
Because at least she's H A P P Y there
Ring-a-ring-a-roses,
A pocket full of posies;
Hush! hush! hush! hush!
We're all tumbled down.
