Chapter 1: The Devil Believes Again

Chapter Text

You are a dream, an angel, a mystery
Wrapped up in glittering eyes and a surefire smile
You are fierce and brave and longing

And Oh
How I long to touch you
How I want to make you mine in every way
And yet, you make me want to be better than I am

 

God could not have created better torture
Then to have you near me,
Have you trust me
and still never love me

 

You make me vulnerable
You make me want to pray to a god I long ago stopped believing in
To make offerings, sing hymns
You make me want to plead with Heaven

 

But Heaven will never intercede on by behalf
Those gates have been closed to me for centuries

 

I was cast out
Cast down
I was abandoned and forgotten
I was blamed and cursed and crucified

 

How am I worthy of your light?

- The Devil Believes Again

Chapter 2: The Daughter of Wolves and Winter

Summary:

A poem for the Stark Women

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Sometimes I think I see the girl who died
I see her in my nightmares, scared and alone
I see her in the daylight, bloody and confused

 

I hear a howl, coming from my dreams or waking moments
I can’t tell
Until I realize
That howl comes from me

 

I am steel, unbending and stubborn
I am a wolf, protective and dangerous
I am a girl, lonely and hopeful

 

One thing I have never been and never will be
no one

 

One thing I always am and always will be
a queen

- The Daughter of Wolves and Winter

Notes:

Written after The Battle of Bastards. The Starks are finally home and I will write a poem about it. this season had amazing arcs for both Arya and Sansa

Chapter 3: The Center Will Hold

Summary:

inspired by Sydney and Adrian from the Bloodlines Series by Richelle Mead

Chapter Text

Sometimes love hurts
But sometimes it heals

 

Loving you meant I forsake a world I knew
Loving you meant I changed the rules

 

You are all brightness and magic and mystery
You are all heart and sorrow and pain

 

I know your flaws, your ribs, your smiles and laughs
I know you in all ways

 

Love is a flame in the dark
Love starts with a spark

 

I used to think I’d never find someone who lets me be who I want to be
I used to believe no one would ever see who I am

 

But you
You are the coldest nights and the warmest days
You are escapes plans and secrets
You are risks I never believed I’d take
You are the best thing this world could create

- The Center Will Hold
