Alice Redux

I chased you And fell down  the rabbit hole Tumbling through the  doorways of my mind  And the deranged mess of a love denied (why couldn't u love me?) the same sad refrain I thought I could better you It was about me shining my divine light on you Making u beautiful I could have done it But you wouldn't let me in  Shades of a horse in armor Casts shadows at the race But I'm alone  at the starting gate It was exhilarating to capture your fancy And as heart-breaking to loose it so quickly And within every smirk, smile or joke I saw hope for a different future And so I cling to that.  Missing you Wishing you Missed me. But u won't let me in. Who will I be at the end of this? Out of the rabbit hole  She comes Perhaps madder Sadder  Than Before
