A/N: Hey Guys! This is just an idea i came up with at 11:00 at night, after a tiring day. I needed to relax, so I wrote a Sweenett fic! Ok...so...On with the Story!
Description: This is a short one shot mini, one-sided Sweenett poem. Its just Mrs. Lovett's take on how she wished that Sweeney had chosen her over Lucy. PLEASE PLEASE review afterward...constructive criticism is ok, just don't be to mean! Thanks!
You Chose Her
Lucy,
That was the girl you chose,
Not Nellie,
Lucy,
The blonde,
With the perfect smile,
The soothing voice,
The bouncing steps,
The airy walk.
Oh, that walk,
How it vexed me!
So meaningless,
It had no determination,
No purpose,
She had no ambition
The stupid nit.
But you chose her,
Not me.
Now, Mr. Todd?
Now?
When you are so caught up in your revenge,
Do you still think of her the way you used to?
Is she still "Your Lucy"?
Your precious, beloved wife?
Or is she now just a tool,
A tool used, honed, and polished,
Not because of what it means to you now,
But because of what it meant to you then.
But nevertheless, you chose her,
And left me to Albert,
the fat, pointless lump who did nothing all day,
I don't miss him.
At all.
I miss Benjamin though,
The old Benjamin Barker,
the kind, sweet, loving man,
Not this one.
Not Sweeney, all filled with the past,
With vengeance,
With revenge,
But the old Benjamin would, of course, come at a heavy price,
Her.
With him.
Always.
Like a dog,
Never leaving his side.
So, I suppose,
This way is better,
This new man,
This, brooding Mr. Todd,
but do you ever wonder,
Mr. T,
What things would have been like,
How life would have been different,
If you hadn't chosen ,
Her,
If you had just chosen,
Me,
Plain, simple,
Nellie Lovett?
Ok...so...Lovett or hate it...review PLEASE! Come on...it only takes like, what, twenty seconds?! Even if you just write one word! ok...so...I'm done begging. Thanks for reading everyone. And remember. SWEENETT IS FOREVER!
