AN: Well, here's yet another freeverse. It's LilyScorpiusRosie love triangle… yeah.

Twisted Daggers

.o.

There was a time when

you thought you were unbreakable

didn't you?

when you thought no one

could b|r|e|a|k| through

your /walls\

when you thought no one

could t-h-a-w out your

I C E C O L D H E A R T

BUT you were wrong,

weren't you, sweetheart?

{so much for being the Slytherin Ice Princess, huh?}

you thought your h-e-a-r-t was

Fort freakin' Knox,

didn't you?

{and darling, you were wrong}

but you never counted on

an inside job,

did you?

{no, you didn't}

{you trusted your fellow Slytherins}

but that boy,

he s.n.u.c.k. into your heart,

he g-a-i-n-e-d your trust,

and then he P O U N C E D

{that sneaky snake}

he made you wonder what ever happened to

"Slytherins stick together"

he claims you are together

{yeah right}

and then, horror of horrors,

he|made|you|LOVE|him.

{and that wasn't even his worst crime, was it sweetheart?}

you never really wanted

to fall in L O V E,

did you?

you always just wanted to

play with boys hearts.

{yeah, that turned out well}

and so instead of playing,

you|got|played

{badly}

and, well,

he meant to love you,

he really did

but then she came into the picture

{your own cousin!}

and he fell for her

and you didn't even know

not till he

b-r-e-a-k-s u-p w-i-t-h y-o-u

{a dagger in the heart}

and then he

a.s.k.s h.e.r. t.o. H.o.g.s.m.e.a.d.e.

{he twists the dagger}

and he n-e-v-e-r d-a-t-e-s a-n-o-t-h-e-r g-i-r-l a-g-a-i-n

{he twists the dagger again}

and today they announce their

E N G A G E M E N T

{he's still twisting the dagger}

{it's not on purpose anymore, but it still hurts}

and you can see their joy

{twist}

and you can practically feel their love

{twist}

and Rosie asks you to be a bridesmaid

{another twist, but you say yes anyways}

and/it's/only/when/you/get/home

when-you-let-yourself-cry

[finally]

that you know his dagger is still lodged in your chest

that it will be in their forever

and that he will never stop twisting it.
