You were the rabbit hole,

and I was sucked right in,

Drunk off the lies,

the thought of your skin.

I crawled in deeper,

hungry for more,

frantically falling

until I hit the floor.

Thirsty for praise

a need for love,

the want for you

running in my blood.

And then I looked in the mirror

and saw the castle behind me

and realized I wasn’t Alice

but I was the Queen.

Keeper of hearts,

breaker of yours

unaware of your truth

until it broke on the floor.

Keeper, breaker, endless wish maker,

I live, and dream of the day

you come back to me

and take my breath away.

And then I woke up.

Dead dreams.
