Look at the sky
It belonged to a guy
That I know
And I thought I forgot
Long ago
Yesterday, she had heard news of a devastating train accident. It was no simple tragedy to ignore, however, because it had robbed her of nine people very close to her. She had tried to forget Narnia ever since the last time she had gone, even after the first time trying to convince herself that it had all been a game. To their deaths her siblings had held unwavering belief in Narnia and in Aslan. Now her siblings were gone, along with her parents, cousin Eustace, Jill, Professor Kirke and his old friend Ms Polly. The very idea that a talking lion could create an entire world was ridiculous and childish; she was much too old for make-believe now.
Look at the trees
Didn't stop at the top
Not for him
Used to borrow the wind
For a walk
Lately, the relationship between her and her brothers and sister had been strained, when she grew up, they simply couldn't relate to her any more. Hers was a world of boys, makeup and parties. By now, she had gotten a job and a flat of her own, the last ties to childhood severed. They were older as well and should have acted the age they were.
Look at the sea
used to save all his waves
for hellos
used to climb up
his highs, down his lows
When she stopped believing, two people took her place. These two people were her cousin and his friend Jill. Lucy and Edmund later told her a fantastic tale about their journey aboard a Narnian ship with Eustace and that he had become less beastly afterward. After meeting him and seeing that he'd changed, she began to doubt that they were lying but she told herself that they had simply settled their differences with the boy and convinced him to join in their silly games. Then, Jill believed as well and she figured that Eustace had just told her about it. It was infuriating how naïve they all had been.
Look at the birds
used to flock as he walked
through the street
used to fly down
and march at his feet
She couldn't be mad at her now dead family members because they had failed to up. They were still her family and she loved them all dearly. What was the point of a 'fun' life if the fun in it was empty and meaningless, no fun at all? She was out in the cold, dark world without a family. She had forgotten to ask her mother for that cake recipe and she hadn't seen her father for a while. After having a bitter argument with Lucy, Edmund and Peter, she hadn't spoken to them in ages. Life wouldn't be quite the same without them.
Look in his eyes for a dying flare
Look for the wind in his yellow hair
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Susan saw a large tawny shape behind her. Perhaps it was her imagination but she could feel something breathing down the back of her neck. Was it really Him?But when she turned around, there was no one there.
And pretend
You see the man
Who isn't there
