Alice Unloved Part One

Her silhouette was the kitchen green Of her grandmother's house wanting clean Her eyes dim the overcast soul within Little Alice had not a single ghostly friend Moonlit shadows dancing of grays and soft black Mocked the little soul in gleeful ghoulish attack As the moon surrender to the sun Their haunts echo undone Alice planted in her granny's rocking chair Lids of her eyes closed but her soul still stared The impish sphinx rocking her eternal sway Forever in a place that love once stayed Unloved in life unwanted in death Only grandmother's love could lift The hurt, the fears, the pain Gentle the caress sweet sound of her name "Alice don't cry my love" "Alice just needs old granny's hugs" Safe and sound in old granny's lap Troubles dissolved into a gentle nap But granny could not forever live Her parents hating themselves had no love to give Alone and cold that bleak December night Alice fled to the abandon house of her only delight Asleep in granny's rocking chair she froze Unclaimed her little spirit never rose Old ghost of the shuttered house's past Had no use for the sad little lass Whenever the living intrude No response from Alice not even a "BOO" Silent and sad she just sits This gives the other spirits hisses fits "Where's my granny? Alice unloved" "Where's my granny? Alice unloved" "She's no fun just plain and dumb" "She's no fun just plain and dumb" No emotions from the girl of stone But you can't ignore what won't leave you alone "Rock away in your old granny's chair" "Rock away do you think we care?" And then they would all dance around Hoping at least to catch a frown But her thin pale lips of faded blue Not once did they flinch or even move Bored and tired their night was done Shadows flee into cracks to escape the sun But little Alice never stirs Her fragile essence enjoys the blur Of the penetrating light that warms her soul A touch that beats with a love she knows For the sun brings light and a quiet smile Her grandmother comes and sits a spill Together they rock away each day Free from pain and shadows of gray But grandmother did not come one day Her realm from earth was taken away She was judge good and enters those Pearly Gates No longer to Alice could her spirit escape Alice unloved each night and every day Alice unloved taunted by shadows of gray Alone in a crowd of ghouls and ghost Silent and empty for less to most (continued Alice Unloved Part Two)
