tears stain a jester painted face

they are laughing, sharp eyes set on me.

a leaf in autumn, quivering as my life

gets smeared in shades of brown.

please don't do this to me, please don't let them claw at the hem of my skirt,

they will d e v o u r me.

i beg you, let me hug my brother one more time.

i beg you, put me into ravenclaw.

aquamarine orbs have never been more red

a devil's skin would be considered pale.

please, don't let them take me.

slytherin!
