Beauty is Only Skin Deep

By Danielle

A/N: I'm just… depressed right now, so why not write a sad one-shot?

Dis-wait. I don't own these characters.

I hoped this could be simple. I thought I could tell you—and that you wouldn't run away, like everyone else had. You were always there for me, when everyone else wasn't. You would listen to me, and make me feel like an actual person.

And when I see you

I really see you upside down

But my brain knows better

It picks you up and turns you around

Turns you around, turns you around

But to you—this was just a game. You took advantage of my trust, and ripped my world apart. I sacrificed my everything; friends, family, even the best thing that ever happened to me: my one love, just so I could spend one little minute with you.

And to think I actually thought I could change you. I was just a pawn in your life, something that would always be meaningless to you.

If you feel discouraged

That there's a lack of color here

Please don't worry lover

It's really bursting at the seems

Absorbing everything

The spectrum's A to Z

Am I really nothing? I thought you might have some heart, under your mask that made you so intimidating. I thought I could see through you, but you're just like your father: deceitful, conniving, a Death Eater…I was stupid enough to think that it wasn't just your good looks that won me over.

But beauty is only skin deep.

This is fact not fiction

For the first time in years

And the girls in every girlie magazine

Can't make me feel any less alone

I'm reaching for the phone

To call at 7:03 and on your machine I slur a plea for you to come home

But I know it's too late

I should have given you a reason to stay

And now, I'm heartbroken. I have to start my whole life over: make new friends and new relationships when I thought this could last forever. But clearly, forever to you is something that would never exist. You're wrong, though: forever is for always, and that commitment involves love which you just can't feel.

This is fact not fiction

For the first time in years

And I hoped that you might love me too.

A/N: Please review this one-shot. I know it's a little short, but sometimes if it's too long, it's boring. So anyway, PLEASE review. I'm sad.
