A little LilyScorpius to make your Sunday a tad... gloomier?
Do you know how stars die, dear?
(well do you?)
They burst into flames burning brightbrightbrighter than the sun
And that blaze lights for a second, a heartbeat
And then, then they're gone
Nothing
Blackness stretching infinitely
And sometimes
If those stars shone really bright
They leave a hole and gobble up any new energy
.
Well dear, are you a star?
Stop and think, child
How brightly do you shine?
How brightly do you fall?
How much bitter darkness do you have
Tucked away deep inside
That will last long past you
To nibble on the spirits of those around you?
.
Think, love
Are you a star?
(do you really want to be?)
Because you've always shone awfully bright
(and it really is awful, maybe you should dim down
Lie low
(but that's not really the way you play the game,
Is it?))
Shineshineshining much brighter than poor, sweet Rose
The innocent, naive thing,
Of course the good girl never gets the boy
Everyone knows
Bad girls shine brighter
And boys like pretty things
That sing, dance, cook, and shine for them
(so it's natural that you have more boyfriends than the rest of your siblings and cousins.
Combined.)
.
So you shine towards him
Because he's just your next conquest
And he's forbidden
(NEVER steal your cousin's boyfriend
It's a basic rule)
But that just makes the chase
(and the results)
All the more f u n
.
And of course it doesn't last
(You never expected it to)
But that boy did a funny thing to your h e a r t
Didn't he, dear?
You knew it wouldn't take long before you were o v e r him
But it hurt
(oh yes it did)
When it ended
.
He broke you, didn't he?
He tore you up
Like you used to do to all those other boys
(like you were planning to do to him
But that's just a small, insignificant detail)
.
You shoneshoneshone for him
But he tossed you aside,
Something that had never happened before
.
He left you
A l o n e
.
And something happened
Something you hadn't ever expected
You, dear, cried
A few tears
No more
(that, love, was your explosion,
Your sparks flying for moments
And then dimming for all the rest
Of eternity)
The boy broke you
Took away your shine
And your lust for life
Making you a
Black hole
Just like a has-been star
.
Do you know how hearts break, child?
Just like pretty stars in the sky,
Do you know how they die?
It's all the same, love
.
You always wanted to shine like a star
Well you did
But your light died, dear
Because you shone too brightly
Can you ever rekindle your flame?
(do you want to? It'll only be put out again)
