"Oh shy Venus, I want to throw away my mask to show you my kind and cruel self

Only to you I give my secret

I want to kiss you, surrender to your heart

A beast without a place to hide

Until it breathes its last, in the maze of love"

—(Yoko Ishida version), "Mask" (translation)

%%%%%%%%%%

None of them

will do

None of these girls are any g-o-o-d

(you wish for a woman)

&& there she is

all teary-eyed, blurry-eyed, red-eyed

because—

one of those girls you dated? yeah—

she stole this lovely painting's

hubby

(& all this masterpiece got was a lousy t-shirt)

%%%%%%%%%%

Believe it or not,

you were sincere when you decided

to l~i~s~t~e~n

& you discovered this pretty, wishy-washy watercolor

was a beautiful amalgam of

vibrant

&& B_O_L_D

oils 'n' acrylics

that left such an impression on you

You were in awe of her strength

to push ahead

despite what he'd done

So you began c~a~j~o~l~i~n~g

%%%%%%%%%%

Sure, you loved her inner strength

but it made her rather

o-b-s-t-i-n-a-t-e

a lot

But you, of anyone, could get her to

"comearound"

It was so close

You were so close

when she decided to remain firm

at the last second

He didn't even want her anymore!

But she

w.o.u.l.d.n.'.t

do the same to him

No matter

howmuch

she loves Y O U

%%%%%%%%%%

Awww… I actually like Hannah a lot in this one. :( I feel bad for her, yet I like that her heart was able to grow for Lorcan. Hehe, that is an allusion to Vicnev in there, for all the fans. Oh, and that excerpt of lyrics is from the translation of the ending theme to the anime Sorcerer Hunters.

Thanks for reading, and please review!

2017 note: I think the post-Nevannah Hannah fics I like best are ones where she (or someone else) picks up the pieces. :')
