Real LifeOnce upon a time,
in a land far away,
a beautiful princess was born.
She had sky blue eyes
and golden hair
and--

This isn't a fairytale!
this is life
And a girl was born
but she's not some fairytale princess
she's lilylunapotter
all green flashing eyes
and fire red hair
she jumped into life
feet first
and mouth open

-time goes by-

It's her 13th birthday
she shines like the sun
in pink chiffon & lace
and--

Wait...
haven't we gone over this?
life's not a fairytale!
not even close

It's her 13th birthday
but she glows like fire
in a t-shirt & jeans
and she couldn't be happier

-she grows older-

She whirls around
gol

Fractured FairytalesOnce upon a time
There was a girl
(that's you, darling)
and there was a boy
(there always is, isn't there)

you're pretty, and you know it
(and you're Lucy, so pretty's all you've got)
but for some reason
he chose you
&& you were w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l together
but perfect doesn't last long
(didn't you learn from RoseScorpius, darling?)
and, as it turns out
pretty was all you had

Not like her
she's pretty, too
but she's also funny charming smart
and just Lily
and darling, you just can't compete

So you're not really surprised when he tells you
"Luce, it's just not working out"
because he's right
and he never really loved you
(who cares if you lov

OvershadowedYou're star-girl
The middle child
Overshadowed always
By your beautiful older sister
And your charming younger brother
Even by your parents
The beautiful witch and the wizard who's a hero
(and bears the scars to prove it)
But you?
You're just star girl
And no one will ever care
(will they?)
_
He's art-boy
He's a twin
(so he knows what it's like to share the spotlight)
& he has to live up to expectations too…
Of his loony mother
And his brilliant father
(but it doesn't seem to bother him)
And everyone says you're perfect together
And you are
The picture perfect quiet couple

And then he's stor

RoyaltyOnce upon a time
there was a king
and a queen
but there was also
a princess

The queen
was wonderful
all icy white beauty
maturity
perfection

And then there was the princess
she was beautiful, too
(in her own way)
all warmth and sunshine and heart melting smiles
giggles and dizziness

And then there's the king
(that's you, boy)
and something unexpected happened
because never before
has a king
fallen for a princess

But when asked to choose between
Victoire
(the snow queen)
and Lily
(the flower princess)
the choice was simple

Because, really,
who wants a snowflake
when you can have a flower petal?
(no contest)

StarFlowerFlowers are pretty, aren't they?
Bu you don't really like them, do you?
Sure, they're pretty
But they're not beautiful
Everyone likes them
And they expect you to
But you don't

For example, there are roses
sososo cliché (just the sorta thing you hate)
that deep dark red, so pretty
those smooth, soft petals, so soft
but roses have thorns
(and who likes thorns?)

Then, there are lilies
They're pretty, too
That strawberry pink shade
And they don't have thorns

But flowers die so quickly
You've just started to enjoy them
when they fade

don't be so picky, boy
if you don't like roses or lilies
what do you like?
You don't li

Snow White and Rose RedSnow White and Rose Red
When you were little, it was your favorite fairytale
Rose Red
She was always your favorite
& she's just like you

You, with your
Baby-blue eyes
And longlonglong lashes
And beautiful red curls
But if you're Rose Red, who's Snow White?

Don't kid yourself, darling
Snow White was always your cousin
With her deep hazel eyes
Straight strawberry hair
And pale complexion
(you don't have anything in common, do you?)

Except for him
You got to him first
You blazed your way to his heart
With stolen kisses,
Late-night rebellion
And beautiful blissfulness

And then, just when you thought he was yours,
She float

Life's a FairytaleYou've always loved fairy tales
maybe because of the idea
of a happy ending
or maybe
just because the remind you
of when life was simple
you were friends with Sev
your sister liked you
and you hated James Potter

Don't you wish things were that simple!
life's not a fairy tale, darling
it's not all
beautiful girl
handsome prince
happy ending

But sometimes
(sometimes)
the fairy tale show through
because you're in
l-o-v-e
(don't even try to deny it)

You'd think,
looking at it,
that their life
would be
one messed up fairy tale
but they get their happy ending
(isn't that all that matters?)

Happily Ever AfterThey say happily- ever- after
Only happens in fairy tales
But they're wrong
Because their story has one

He's curious, thoughtful, turquoise
She's curious, sweet, white- blond
&& they were best friends forever

He has a lot of friends
And even a few girlfriends
(she's not jealous! She's not!)
But he's only turquoise with her
Only her

And then on the last day of summer
They're sitting together under that big tree
Recalling happy times
And laughing
Together
In that way
That only old friends can do

He turns to look at her
And her breath catches in her throat
'cause through all the years she's known him,
he's never seen that l

Hope for the HopelessLife is good
You've graduated from Hogwarts
Lily and James are married
Everyone's happy

Except...

Voldemort's still here
And in the course of one night
What were once five friends
is now one

3 friends dead
(lily james peter)
1 friend imprisoned
(Sirius
how could he?
how could he?
weren't you friends?)

And then there's you
Remus Lupin
for some reason
you thought you would be the first to go

Maybe its because you're a
gasp
werewolf
(monster)
or because the others
seemed immortal
(well, maybe not Peter)

But now
you
are the
only
one
left

Well, except for Harry
just like James
(but he has Lily's eyes)
and he'

AlwaysYou never had much luck with boys, did you, Lily- flower?
Well, that's what comes from being the youngest
All the older girls got the guys
and you were left with a broken heart

The first one
He was always so sweet
And you loved him (or, at least, you thought you did)
Bu turquoise clashes with strawberry
it looks better with white- blond
he never loved you, darling
it was always Teddy&Victoire

Then the next one
you never had a chance
you may be pretty, darling
but he's in love with your cousin
&& she's beautiful
he's already got a flower, darling
it was always Scorpius&Rose

The third one
well, you were close with this one
b

Meant To BeEvery family has a wild one
well, that's you (isn't it?)
the crazy one
the sparkly one
Oh yes, that's you, darling
the baby of the family
so what you want, you get (right?)
well, not this time, darling
'cause you can't have him
he'll never be yours

He's storm-boy
the one with lightning in his eyes
and wind in his hair
but he's someone else's prince
(always remember that, darling)
and she's your cousin
the prettyprettypretty one

And she's red to you pink
cherry to your strawberry
fire to your rainbow
& he's lightning
(and lightning starts fires, darling)
and they're perfect together

After all, it's not like he's anything

Just Beneath The SurfaceJust beneath the surface,
Just underneath it all,
Behind those eyes,
Behind that smile,
Behind those curves,
That seems to go for a mile,
Behind everything lies a woman,
A woman who has gone through many things,
That looks to be strong but sometimes weak,
That looks to be good but going through pain,
That looks to be anything but what she can be at times,
She was taught to hide it all,
All beneath the surface,
All beneath every fiber of her bones,
All beneath everything that is her,
But, she keeps going every day,
Because there is so much out there,
And she does have faith,
And she does believe she can have true strength,
And that she doesn&r

Heaven or Hell.Music blaring some rock song
not where you think
it would belong.
Smoke on the water
or High way to hell
both seem to fit well.

The people attending
do not know how to take
if this is the funeral
whats of the wake.

Was always a rebel in life
said what I felt
could not hold my mouth
if I had I would not
be here now.

They think they have heard
the last of me
that when the curtains close
in to the furnace I go.

If I go to heaven or hell
Only I can tell.
Heaven with its angels
what a sight.
Hell with the devil
party all night.

You will hear from me soon
watch my picture
in the living room.
If it falls to the floor

SparrowSparrow...
Not a bird,
But a name.

The name of a girl.
A girl whom
I have yet to meet.
Yet the name of a girl
Of whom
I've seen before.

I saw her,
One fateful day.
I fell in the kitchen;
There I lay.

My eyes closed tight,
For I'd hit my head.
And through the darkness
There she laid.

It was not that of
A top down or side view.
No, it was more
A view from her.
A look at the world
Through the eyes of another.

She lay there,
Exactly as I had.
Same spot,
Same position,
Same surroundings.

She had long,
Bleach blonde hair.
A white tee on
With denim shorts.

I knew there was
Black eyeliner
Surrounding baby blue,
Crystal clear eyes.

Why she was

The truth..Not to tell you,
That I always loved you,
And probably always will,
Would've been an insult in our memory,

We have seen different places,
Thousands of different faces,
Different forgotten difficulties,
Different glories of all sorts.

And even though our lives have begun differently,
We might speak different tongues,
We come from different parts of the world.
Our hearts will always beat as one.

It was often, to me, told,
That I should keep my thoughts to myself,
That I should keep memories, memories,
And not bring them back.

But to think of all of that,
I came to the understanding,
That all those feelings,
All those thoughts

Insanity

by ~natbookworm88, Jan 16, 2012, 3:35:42 PM
Fan Art / Fan Fiction / Romance

You fit so well in his arms
and he pulls you close
so close
and he smells nice
like the quidditch pitch
and sunshine
and the pure insanity of what you're about to do

Because with james potter
a kiss isn't just a kiss
it's an answer
a promise
a future

"Always and forever, Lily-flower"

but really,
you're ready to promise
because the answer is yes
(has always been yes)
and surprisingly enough (not)
a future with James
doesn't sound so bad anymore
and really,
what's the worst that could happen?

You kiss him
and you promise
it's a promise
for the future
it's an answer
one's he's been wanting
for just around
f o r e v e r

"Yes James, I'll go out with you"

Because
(you think later)
you can't really
deny fate
you can try
but it has a way
of working out in the end
(life's funny like that)
