She's the Alice of my Wonderland


(poems go here) Ripped out my heart and placed in a box And with this box are the weights and locks. Now take this thing to the watered land Let it sink and be gone by your hand. As it falls, lost in depth of the sea Lets dance for the love that cannot be. Out of the Pool of Tears did it come A white rabbit of time and feelings numb. Lured by realms of romance like the mass But it's wrong side of the looking glass. Gave thee insight that my world stands still Beauty bound, asked of a girl named ... Ripped out my heart and placed in a box And with this box are the weights and locks. Now take this thing to the watered land Let it sink and be gone by your hand. As it falls, lost in depth of the sea Lets dance for the love that cannot be. Given time, this riddle makes some sense But ask, how could I have been this dense? A caterpillar would ridicule. She disappeared, the choice seems too cruel How she went in to fix my mistake. Got the box, cut the locks, made it break. Beloved, thou hast my heart in her hand. Torn, she’s the Alice of my Wonderland.
