Crazy.
She isn't crazy
(though they say she is)
They can't be right,
They just don't know her
(or do they?)
Maybe that's why they do all those tests
(were there tests?)
Did they hurt?
(sometimes it makes her laugh)
No, it didn't
(did it?)
She wonders what time it is
(she calls it awake, testing and sleeping)
That's all she ever does
(nothing more, nothing less)
Sometimes she doesn't eat
(only when there's roast beef. or was there really roast beef?)
She doesn't pay attention;
She's too busy
(thinking about him)
In the future,
But she's mustn't speak of it
(or else she'll get the chair.)
Was there really a chair?
(she doesn't remember a chair)
Only loud screaming
(was that her?)
It couldn't be,
Why would she need to scream
(when he's got his arms around her)
No, he's not here
(is he?)
He's not real
(yes he is)
Just hiding somewhere distant
(or is he right next to her?)
No, he would be glittering,
Like the diamonds she used to wear
(no, there's no sun. did she wear diamonds? does she have diamonds?)
He only sparkles when there's sun;
She hasn't seen the sun in a long time;
Sometimes she thinks it's gone,
That they're protecting her
(that's a lie. it makes her laugh)
Why would they throw her in this dark room?
(this pit of hell)
Surely, that's where she must be,
But she's not dead yet
(is she?)
No, he hasn't found her yet
(or has he? will he?)
Now she's in the white room
(or is it orange?)
Sometimes she decorates it in her head
(or is it already?)
They're observing her,
Asking her questions;
She lies,
She doesn't want them to know about him
(or do they already?)
No, he would have saved her by now if he existed
(silly girl, he doesn't know you. or does he?)
She can't remember what's real and what isn't anymore;
(is there a difference?)
There must be;
They tell her there is
(maybe that's why she's here. is she really here? where'd he go? is he here too?)
No, no, no!
She's screaming again;
They don't know what to do with her;
They whisper "devil child, devil child"
How would they know?
(unless this is hell)
It would explain a lot
(but she's not dead, is she?)
he's not dead
(or is he?)
he's not here
(but he's coming, right?)
That one thing is certain,
And he's different
(not human)
But he has to be
(unless men are really monsters)
No, he's not a monster,
He's sweet and kind to her
(is he? or will he be?)
She doesn't know;
She can't remember
(if he was, is or will be)
But he is real
(she didn't make him up)
She's not crazy,
She is not;
She is real;
He is real;
They are real;
(were they real?)
Can they be real?
(she wants them to be)
Soon they will be,
They are together
(forever and ever)
And nobody can take him away
(not even the monsters)
It's sleep time now;
She'll dream of him
(she knows it)
She'll be out of here soon
(be out of where?)
Two things she is certain about:
One, he is real and coming for her;
Two, she is definitely not
insane.
