Alice

Look around, Alice

At these sad, tired masses

Energetic children longing for adulthood

Swinging on tree branches

 

Look around, Alice

What do you see?

Teenagers, like you, desperate for childhood

For they let it slip out of their grasp too soon

 

Look, Alice

At her

The girl of which you pin the blame

Without looking inward

For the true fault is in your heart

 

Look, Alice.

Look at me

Please

I used to love you, Alice,

Honest

But you pushed me away

 

Trust in me, Alice,

For I only want to help

I need you to know the scars you left

Not only on my heart

But on her heart, too

 

I could never tell you this,

Alice

Oh, how I have tried

But your ears are unwilling

And your mind is fixed

 

Alice,

Have you learned?

Wonderland doesn’t revolve around you.
