- AnonymousE, who requested Drew-Silena closure and left a lovely review.
- Lynn and Erin, who are redheads and are redhead supremacists like me, only I am just a spiritual redhead. But they also leave lovely reviews and Erin can do so much better than whatshisfaceJAY.
- The song White Wedding and rockband. You get the picture. Lyrics from refrain in brackets and bolded.
xxx. only the innocent fall
[hey little sister, what have you done?]
She tosses a bottle of hairspray at you and you catch it. She breaks down one day and sobs because no, they were meant to be, he was her one true love and how could he? and you pick up the pieces and glue them back together, one by one.
She asks you to catch her if she falls and you promise you will.
[hey little sister, who's the only one?]
She gets gigglier and smilier and redlipsticky. You fade into the watercoloured background while she lights up the world, bold glossy fabulous. But she still smiles at you and you still pick up her pieces - there are just less of them.
[hey little sister, shotgun]
A scythe bracelet on her wrist, pale and delicate. A malicious edge to her smirk and you know what, maybe you won't be the one to glue her back together when he's done with her.
[it's a nice day to start again]
Oh, and then you get smilier and glossier. You puncture a hole in her pictureperfect world and the cracks start showing. But what doesn't kill her can only make you stronger and shinier.
You both have matching bracelets, isn't that cute?
[it's a nice day]
Hot pink electric spear and she goes up in honour. You stand at the back and pretend you aren't breaking, broken. Why is she pink? She should be white, white innocent, white delicate, white young, white liar, white deceiving, white cloaking, white broken.
She shouldn't have left so many pieces behind.
[for a white wedding]
