Girls can break your heart. Especially ones that like to get lost - flying out of windows with boys that cannot love them back and coming home with another scar and another reason to cry into her pillow at night.
"You said a boy broke your heart because he refused to grow up, why would you do the same to me?"
Wendy stands with her feet wide in the pants she stole from a box in the attic marked Edmund that she promised never to open and doesn't cry because her heart is harder than you could ever imagine, "Why do you keep trying to grow up so fast, when you know I can't follow you
( ... )
Wendy returns on a sunny Saturday afternoon through the front door.
"Susan, darling, I'm home!"
She says it as though Susan Darling was a name and not an endearment and maybe that's what it is. She hasn't felt like a Pevensie in a very long time. There is a suggestion deep in her heart that maybe she never really was one anyway. Maybe that was the problem

THEY WILL HEAR MY SCREAMS FROM THE TOPS OF THE TREES AND THE DARKEST FLOORS OF THE OCEANS
you are my favourite monster
She is Susan's whole world and only the smallest part of her desire.
these are girls with the hardened hearts of women and yet no one will let them grow up
"Why do you keep trying to grow up so fast, when you know I can't follow you?"
is this a question or a dagger
She dreams of a lion eating her still-beating heart while her siblings watch with blank stares.
i will avenge susan with the last beat of my own beastly heart and i will slather my mouth with lipstick and jump on lion's backs.
No one notices that she has two shadows - one with a bow in its hair and the other something much, much wilder. It also came with a note, signed with an X.
Her own Shadow never came back.
She thinks it is living a wildly adventurous life on a pirate ship.
the LEAST of what she deserves
But her shadows do not. They sit on her gravestone and wait for someone to tell them what to do next. Theirs is the story of a tragedy

We can dance, we can dance down to nothing
You can play your voodoo in the evening
Lipstick on a shadow you keep leaving
one day someone will do this for me and i will cry real tears
