she was Lily
burning s t r o n g
as fire
red red hair and red red lips
(and red red wine
but shh, that's a secret)

she was fiery
d e t e r m i n e d
running from her family
and her reputation
and herself
as fast as her
tiny little legs could carry her

she didn't want to be
harry potter's d a u g h t e r
she didn't want to be
molly weasley's granddaughter
she didn't want to be
her

so she lost herself
in her world of
thin thin models
and tea and cigarettes
(because she's convinced herself
they're healthier than biscuits)

he brings her
red red roses
he tries to k n o c k her
b a r r i e r s down
but she's so far gone
that nothing he does can
ever bring her back

she's red red hair
red red lips
red red wine
red red roses
f a d i n g a w a y

look at us
we are the youth of
t o d a y
look at us
we're
fading away

A/N: Ohmygosh it's been soso long since I uploaded something! Life's just been so hectic and I couldn't get internet access whilst I was in Russia and the site has been being really glitchy and eurgh. Anyway, this is a pitiful offering, but it's something. So yeah. If anyone is actually still reading my stuff then I actually love you. With all my heart.
