I\'m not sick

by Naerwen   Jan 17, 2007


I'm not sick - i'm just trying
i'm not dying - i'm just fading
i'm not lying - i'm just afraid
i'm not staying - i'm just leaving

He left my side - but left a Queen behind
Play-Disbelieving-Eyes-To-My-Withering-Wunderment,
To become this promised leader - before you
Someday you will wake up - and find not a trace - of me
Over night - you missed the splendour - inwhich -
i disappeared - for good

i am not afraid - i can be brave - like you

i can dance - as i am falling
i can listen - as i turn away
i can speak - as i shut the door
i can spit - as i chew and (not) swallow

Why does everyone have to go - away - (from me)

A princess - on the way to her throne -
A child - walk backwards towards virtue
A girl - that contradicts feminineness
A slave - scheming her bitter end

i'm not sick - perhaps - to death
