The white rabbit prince must die

In the land of books and make believe

a story written with the power to make you cry

the modern day Orpheus looks to the sky

for the answer

the answer to why.

See everywhere there are answers

but love doesn't follow through

with reflected mirrors it doesn't respond to you

see the path may be long and prince must be strong

but endurance was never his strong point

disjointed he always disappoints

the princess whom he favours.

A thousand years to savour in the eye of the storm

nothing can touch him,

but if that's true, why was he born?

In feeling pain of loves sweet kiss withdrawn

hand that held her hand now is worn

getting colder and colder each day

he prays to time to make it ok

but time is a trickster and it will take itself away.

He is the night to her day

but somewhere a dead man is calling for his crown

was their love only a noun?

A name for something that lies underground?

The prince’s heart still beats,

and while it beats he will not retreat

but he must give up all he has gained

or be maimed

by the wisdom that all despise

the temple of a thousand eyes

the tangled web

that tethers us all together.

See he must fight himself and die

or be caught up in his own lies

for if love be eternal

can it stop the fires of hell that be infernal

and maybe all can be saved

through union.

But royalty must break

and be severed

one must yield

for the madman must be revealed

or he must return his hostage

the other mind

to break the curse

to finally be free

his love must bear responsibility.
