Last Talk With Wonderland

Last look

Lights low

Clock cracked

Don’t know Was it a dream?

Was it a trap?

Wonderland smiled

Then never looked back

Why did the Rabbit

run if he wanted me there?

Why did the hole open under the air?

Why did the doors

all pretend to care?

Why did the key

keep moving somewhere? Drink Me,

Eat Me, change till I break Tall as a tower,

small as a mistake Pool of Tears with my face in the

lake

Was I getting lost or learning to wake?

No one answered They just laughed

Every road bent Every mirror cracked

Last time I see Wonderland Tell me what you wanted Was I

just a little girl Or the dream you hunted?

Last time I see Wonderland All your pretty lies glow You gave

me madness, gave me teeth But never told me why though

Caterpillar asked me who I was Like smoke knows names,

like names know blood Cheshire grinned from above the mud Said every

way works when none of them does Hatter poured tea in a

broken cup Asked dead riddles till the room stood up Why is

a raven like a writing desk?

Why does a question sit in my chest?

No straight answers

No clean signs

Just crooked mouths

And borrowed time

Queen of Hearts, why the red?

Was it roses, was it dread?

Who stole the tarts?

Who lost their head?

Courtroom screaming, cards in rows Truth dressed up in royal clothes Vorpal

Blade with a moonlit shine Was the monster yours or mine?

Jabberwocky, smoke and bite Old fear dancing in the light I swung

once and the whole world split But killing fear did not answer

it Down with the Queen,

crown on the floor Cards ran free,

but free from what for?

If the cage breaks and the walls still bend Did the nightmare

lose or just pretend?

Last time I see Wonderland

Tell me why you called me

Was I meant to wake up strong Or did you only haunt

me? Last time I see Wonderland Leave the door half open

Every answer turned to fog

Every rule got broken

Last time I see Wonderland

I won’t kneel, won’t follow

But your shadow knows my name

And your laughter leaves me hollow

Clock slows

Rain bends

Dream ends

Or begins

If you leave a place that was never there

did you escape it

or did it finally find you
