Also uses Mystii's prompts: protest, believe, dictator, relive :)
once upon a time
(oh, but this is no fairytale)
-:-
here dreams a princess
all dressed in white
of tiaras&castles&
happily ever after
shadow, move aside
because here lies a
r e b e l | f a i r y
who dreams of the prince
snatch him up, little girl
steal him while you can
(relive those moments when
he was all yours and not hers)
no need to w o r r y, darling
about the one boy who is yours
the one who's always there for you
(he'll always be there, after all)
ruby on your finger
sparkle-sparkle-gleam
store the memories of your
happily – ever – after
blood glistens
this is no fairytale
this is war
-:-
dance in the garden,
pretty little lily
pretend he's your prince
(but are you his princess?)
oh, you were so naïve
weren't you, darling?
didn't you want to believe
when he said I love you?
scoops you up, spins you around
twirls you like a ballerina
places you among r o s e s
he treats you like a princess
doesn't he?
and while he watches on
blueblue eyes like diamond skies
pretend he doen't matter
you've got your heart set on
teddy not lorcan
(isn't that right?)
burst, little firecracker
shimmer in his arms
all you've got is right now
make it count, little girl
this is your
y e s t e r d a y
time for the future,
baby princess
are you ready?
-:-
candlelight gleams
silk banners swing
he spins his queen around
and, oh, is it you, darling?
no?
an angel's lock in his hand
where fire-curls used to be
skylight into sunshine
where once was hazel-jade
every nerve in your body
screams at you to protest
because they're just such a
fairytale/happily-ever-after/cliché
but of course, darling,
she's victoire, and she's safe
angellocks&skylighteyes&perfectdreams
white house, picket fence, two kids
parallel lines / r u n
he's lorcan, and he's already yours
honeyhair&diamondeyes&sweetsmiles
a life spent chasing rainbows
but – no.
he's not the prize
beat
beat
beat
there's your chance, firecracker
take him away from her
while music pounds, blares
flash a dazzling smile
he'll be yours before he can say –
"Will you marry me?"
crash
the end…?
-:-
oh, but you're lily, and you're
a persistant little princess,
aren't you?
you little rebel, you, keep dreaming
s t o r m into that perfect little wedding
plot, scheme, do whatever you must
he's yours
just forget about that
other boy at your side
(honeyhair&stormblueeyes
are no match for
stormbluehair&honeyeyes)
my, you look pretty in pink
don't you, sweetheart?
fire curls c a s c a d e
you're a vision of beauty
gather up that gryffindor courage
pull him away, bat your lashes
and tell him –
"I love you."
(don't marry her)
because you're best friends
f o r e v e r
and forever never ends
right?
right?
-:-
suddenly, it feels almost like the
silkdresses&blackties&layeredcake
are acting as a dictator
over you, sweetheart
telling (ordering) you to
sit down and be quiet and
don't l o v e him anymore
is this it? that thing called –
heartbreak?
and the minister says those fateful words
speak now or forever hold your peace
look at him, little girl, look closely
does he want you to speak up?
golden eyes c l o s e
no
you stay quiet
(who fights a dictator, anyway?)
everything's falling a-p-a-r-t
right in front of your pretty hazel eyes
because they're dancing (together)
laughing&smiling&kissing
and everyone's so damn happy
so. damn. joyous.
blushing bride + grinning groom =
happily ever after
what about those left behind?
-:-
oh, and there's that boy
golden hair smoothed down,
diamond-blue eyes bright
isn't he handsome in his tuxedo?
he grins; dimples; eyes light up
maybe he's not the perfect prize
but he's your best friend
isn't he?
turn around, little girl
who's the princess in his arms?
cherry&ocean&molly
she laughs; he smiles
there's another happily ever after
maybe you waited too long, princess
looking in all the wrong places
pining after the one you could never have
and now you've missed your chances
darling, there's still h o p e
maybe you won't get over him
not right away, but maybe someday
maybe someday is all you need
