Testi

Tied to a sofa in an airless room

Like Andromeda chained to a rock

While the seasons fly and the days drift by

To the aimless tick of the clock

And the doctors call and puzzle and frown

And strike a professional pose

And one says this and the other says that

As they differ and dither and diagnose

But for all their chatter the truth of the matter is

No one really knows what's wrong

Nobody really knows what's wrong with me

In ten years you may be well, they say

What's wrong with me?

Ten years, that's almost a century

What's wrong with me?

Why do my arms and legs and feet decline to do

What every fibre of my being begs them to?

Even a dog can move at will

Even a child of three can stand

Must I be like this, alone in all the land?

Is it so very much to ask

Such an extravagant demand

Am I helpless without a helping hand?

I wasn't always like this

When I was small I was lithe and strong and rather wild

A tomboy, in fact

I doubt you'd have known me

Like a boy I took to the trees

Like a boy I rode and I ran

And tumbled and fought and the family thought

She'll grow up to be a man

Quicksilver swift was I

And as boisterous as they came

I'd have never thought I'd a thought in my head

Or a poem to my name

Black and blue from the fights I'd have

With the neighbours and friends next door

If anyone said it was time for bed

I'd protest, "Just one fight more!"

Not a care in the world had I

Nor an introspective fear

I was supple and strong as the day was long

Until Edward died

And then something inside

Well, nothing was quite the same since Edward

No, nothing was quite the same

And now I'm a woman of parts

With a talent to rhyme and scan

And now I can do what few can do

But not what everyone can

For a long time it didn't seem to matter, not really

Until you came, Robert

When you came

Another air blew through the room

And blazing light lit up the gloom

And filled the sky

My heart was high, my hopes were new

The wildest dream I'd dreamed came true

The day you came

With your help

I found the strength to leave my spell

I got so certain I was well

And oh my dear

Just for a moment it was true

Just for a moment's love I knew

For you were there

Want to be well, I want it so

This much I know, don't ask me how

It will be neither or either

It shall be neither!
