Wendy doesn't live here anymore
Dec. 4th, 2009 12:22 pmYou were Pan and all of his Lost Boy.
You believed you could fly and I longed for you to.
You were Nibs
debonair and charismatic wanting to provide even though you were incapable of it
You were Slightly
living in lies you believed to be true, creating songs that only you could hear while begging me to dance with you
You were Curly
my troublesome and forgetful boy but always so so endearing
You were my Twins
knowing nothing about yourself but professing everything
You were also my Tootles.
Who mistook me for something else.
Who shot me down and almost killed me when I tried to fly
You were my Peter Pan, unable to love me the way an adult should.
I was your Wendy, constantly reattaching your shadow.
You exhausted me, wore me out, broke me down while trying to rescue me from a Captian Hook that you created.
The Dreams of Neverland turned to the Dark of Nightmares
When I left you followed me
And at first I loved it
You coming through my window bringing with you all the dreams of a unknowingly selfish heartless innocence. Sprinkling fairy dust over my head and saying that we would fly. But my feet no longer want to leave the ground with you. Every time I leapt off of the edge I realized that that dust was just the remnants of shattered dreams and that the only thing that keep me suspended in the air was the noose you tied around my neck. That and these wings I've constructed on my own.
You were taping at my window last night
Tap
Tap
Tap
But I would not let you in.
Wendy doesn’t live here any more
I do
It's the worst thing I’ve done to you
And it's the best thing I’ve done for myself
Betraying you by growing up
