I am Alice.

Only the past can take

This panic away.

I saw you leap down

That rabbit hole.

I sensed the second your

Heart chose to be elsewhere.

The exact moment in time

Your love changed it's mind.

And like a china doll

I broke.

I ended.

I froze.

And now nothing can warm

These chilled bones of mine.

I hold my skeleton

Like a new born baby.

So gently.

I drag my soul behind me

Like a dirty blanket.

And I believe my haunted thoughts

Are destined to remain lost.

In this past.

In this panic.

In this painful

Wonderland.

I am Alice.

I am anyone

You want me

to be.
