Alice In Flames

Escaping from Wonderland seemed so easy.
For once, reality more desirable than fantasy.
But it was more of the mad hatter in disguise.
Finding him outself his realm was a surprise.

I didn't realize we spent much time together.
As hard as I try I just can't seem to forget her.
That smile; Those lips; The softness was mine.
I try to remember the joy with each new line.

Now am caught in the betwixt and between.
If only for a moment a juxtaposition of green.
Blue and yellow mixed; Sadness and coward.
Trudging the road to destiny must go forward.

Now just want to throw the book into that fire.
But I really can't blame Alice for all this desire.
The chameleon can't blink like that old Cheshire.
Don't really know how I got into this new mire.

It used to be so easy just to run far, far away.
But I am digging myself out of the pit today.
Alice do you want to come on this new trip?
Or will you wait to sister awakens and skip?
