She was always good at gliding over perfection.
perfection is a long way off from where you are
puffs of frost swirling from your mouth
like ghosts, melting into the breeze {flitting}
you're the queen of ice, the bite of bitter never hurting
.
like a winter's day, c-o-o-l and sharp
pure and white, glimmering beneath the sun
looking whole, snow (faking) it's sparkle
because up close, snow burns, darling, it stings
.
you warned him, you did
that he'd get frostbite,
If he came to close to you, he'd get stung
(burn, baby, burn)
.
he came anyways, melting the snow
more than anyone else has before
and he saw beneath the white blanket of shimmery
snow, your protection
.
you warned him, you hardly even wanted him to come close
(much too young, much too naïve)
because it was supposed to Lily (silly)
or maybe Molly
.
never-ever the tall and glamorous Victoire
perfectionpersonified
the one with the whole world watching her from above
the one that glitters without ever trying
.
he took a step (1234)
and you let him (5678)
for the first time ever
you trusted
.
foolish ice queen
don't you know that the people who come near
get {frostbite}
from your icy external?
.
and for awhile, all was well
the shimmer was wearing off
the blanket no longer suffocating you
(like it once did)
.
but snow always comes back,
routinely, actually, darling, why are you forgetting?
when the sun fadesaway, it's time for him to l-e-a-v-e
when the clock strikes midnight, darling
.
and that sun set, with it he left
leaving you to pull the blanketback on
(but you're still cold, aren't you?)
to spread yourself over the sheet of glass, the rolling hills
.
spreading yourself again, everywhere, covering up
any evidence
of what you became while he was around
that young little, naïve boy,
.
so go back, dear, to shimmering
it's easier for you, isn't it,
to hide
to bite anyone who comes near with your frostiness
.
you still watch from timetotime,
but, you understand
that a snow queen
can never have a sunny prince
.
because what's the point of making
a snow angel
when all she'll be is messed up?
once a queen, always a queen
