Alice

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.

This is a good read, Cooper, seems very personal and comes from a 'real' place of regret and emotional longing, love the cryptic references as well,

'Have you learned?
Wonderland doesn’t revolve around you.'

 'For the true fault is in your heart'

very interesting and powerful poetry, enjoyed
