Prompt: Imperfect
Character: Lily Luna Potter


Imperfections are so easy to spot
Especially when you're compared to
A paragon of p e r f e c t i o n

Face it, little girl
You'll never be enough
Because he deserves p e r f e c t i o n
So, there's nothing you can give him

And, well, she's got ringlets of cornsilk
And eyes bluer than the ocean
They match his t u r q o i s e hair
And those sunlight eyes you fell in love with

They're p i c t u r e – p e r f e c t
And you're just a blemish
With your wildstrawberry hair,
(Boring) hazel eyes, little-girl body

She's a g o d d e s s of beauty
What does that make you?
Nothing important, not really

They're such a fairytale,
Could have been lifted straight out of a storybook
Best friends since f o r e v e r
A blue-haired prince and his blue-eyed princess

They're the couple everyone bet on
Everyone expected
Everyone loved

One night, you sneak into his room
And she's there, curled up next to him,
Their arms wrapped around e a c h o t h e r
Blue hair, gold hair, meshed together
Just like their hearts

You're a desperate little girl,
So you lean down and k i s s him
Just once, just to see what it feels like

The answer is n o t h i n g (good)
Because he's perfect
And you're just an imperfect little girl


Author's Notes: Oh, Lily…I swear, I could make a multichapter fic focusing around all the many love triangles possible with her =P So, um, sorry for the angst—the prompt was 'imperfect', in my defense XD Hope you guys liked this!
