The Aging Fanfiction Lover's Lament
Because Peter Pan is gone.
Because Wonderland is full.
Because Harry Potter has grown too old.
Rivendell's deserted,
And I'm all alone.
Because Jack and Will can't be bothered.
Because Elizabeth is too old to understand.
Because Legolas does not give archery lessons,
And Gimlie's way too short.
Because Peter said goodbye.
Because Wendy grew too old.
Because Bumlets lost his way,
And Jack Kelly has his girl.
And I am just a girl.
Just a lousy, lonely girl.
Not a woman,
Not an adolescent.
Just a lousy mixed up girl,
Trapped in this body, this world.
Because Ron broke his wand.
Because Hermione got a perm.
Because Pippin's too immature,
And Gandalf is too tall.
Because Peter Pan is gone.
Because Wonderland is full.
Because Harry Potter has grown too old.
Rivendell's deserted,
And I'm all alone.
Because Aragon is married.
Because Arwen is too pretty.
Because Alice has blonde hair,
And that's just so unfair.
Because not all dogs go to heaven.
Because my mommy told me so.
Because there might not be a Santa Clause,
And because the mud is really snow.
And I am just a girl.
Just a lousy, lonely girl.
Not a boy,
Not a man,
Just a lazy, scared girl.
Trapped in this rhyme, this time, this world.
Because Dragons are not real.
Because I can feel.
Because people do not live forever,
And I am just here.
Because Peter Pan is gone.
Because Wonderland is full.
Because Harry Potter has grown too old.
Rivendell's deserted,
And I'm all alone.
I'm so alone.
Because I can't keep my window open in the winter.
Because I have to put my shade down.
Because the school day seems so long,
Because acting is not pretending,
And you always knew,
You always, always knew.
Because Peter Pan is gone.
Because Wonderland is full.
Because Harry Potter has grown too old.
Rivendell's deserted,
And I am all alone.
I am all alone.
