Elyria, Oh *at the moment*

Alice, your looking glass is warped.
The crystals and the mercury...
melting into arms that reach for you...

Alice, your looking glass is laughing.
Whose eyes are those staring back?
Certainly not those of a pretty child.

The hands you see,
the face you see...
she is foreign to you.

Alice, your looking glass is crying.
Crimson tears slipping down the whirling silver..
mixing, dripping
staining that strangers features.

Lift your fingers Alice to those satin cheeks,
look as she does too
Oh..is she mocking you??

Alice, your looking glass is screaming
Silent screams exploding from lips that are not yours.

Hands, covered,
soaked..
smashing against that icy prison,
that window to hell...

The pieces lay..
shattered,
crimson washes the room..
coated walls
oozing...

Alice, your looking glass is dying.

I am AWE-STRUCK!!! This grandly wonderous!!
Poor Alice......


"There is an alter ego which
dwells in every soul..."

"I am as I am, nothing more, nothing less,
I am tears of pain, tears of Death.

Alice's adventures hold a very special place in my heart...and i have to say i have enjoyed this little morbid twist you put on it! well done!

whatcha doing in this darkness baby
when you know love will set you free?
will you stay in the sea forever
Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live
