A/N: Freeverse five for the collection- it's a LucyLysander with the prompts web and capture.
she goes through
the halls of Hogwarts
tossing I love yous
just as much as hexes
and this boy
that boy
all get caught in her
prettypretty web
and they hand her
I love yous
right back
(-)
she knows
they don't mean it
but sometimes
the fakefakefake love
from all those boys
is all she's got
(-)
but there's one boy
who's special
(there always is)
and he's got dreamer
on and it's the best
protection against her shinylovely webs
that anyone's found
(-)
she tries
because she hates to fail
trying to ensnare him
with her loveliness
the way she sparkles
like (fool's) gold
and no one understands
why she can't let this
one boy
go
(-)
she tries hitching
her skirts up a tad shorter
runs her hand up his arm
sits just that much
too close
and it's like he doesn't
even see her that way
like all his Nargles and crap
make it so he's sees the world
how it really is
and he doesn't see the b e a u t i ful web
of long curls of red and
ohso perfect words that say n o t h i n g at all
he's sees her
as just one of those girls
filled to the brim with
e m p t i n e s s
but he talks to her
weaves his own
prettypretty web around
and it's made of
(his) dreams and (his) belief and
(his) everything
(-)
and she doesn't know what in the world
to do
(-)
one day
she sees him with
a girl
who has the same red hair/blue eyes/freckles
but is filled with her own
dreams&hopes&everything
(-)
and somehow
that web he wove all around
her (heart)
gets tighter and tighter
(-)
so she does what she
does best
weaves her stickylovelyugly
web around
another boy
tosses her I love yous
that much faster
and ignores
the web that boy wove
(-)
'cause after all
emptiness doesn't really have a heart
so what
if she's not quite e m p t y anymore
if she's brimming now with his
hopes&dreams&everything
