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
