Rabbit Holes

Demanding Clocks

I took my heart out for a stroll

Fell deep into a rabbit hole

Read tales and poems of true love

Stories that make believes, made of

Reality, quickly pulled me back out

Blackened my eyes, bloodied my mouth

The love I found, was dark and mean

Nothing of what I thought it’d be

I understand why Alice wandered

For deeper understanding, wondered

A Cheshire cat and wild hare

The queen of hearts confounding glare

Is all the evidence I need

To deny my broken heart to bleed

Ill keep it safe, hidden away

To share it with someone, some day

Till then, time hurriedly ticks away

Reminding me, I’m running late

fact or fiction

    Like what you did here with the Alice in Wonderland imagery. And I love that first line. So nonchalant, like having a promenade!

  • I'm keeping my bleeding heart locked up for good, lol!

  • Aren't we all? Oh to return to a time before hearts were broken & time itself seemed to stretch on forever with endless possibilities. Though, if given the choice, would we?

    I too want to want to hide my feelings, and reveal them only at the right time. My thoughts! Read mine? A shy woman describes her feelings about a special someone. https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/golden-moments-mo2sb0bxk%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
