[2015] Behind The Scenes
Listen to her moan
n wail, simply to no avail
in sadness more so than malice
No one sees her standing there
Did anyone ever really care
about poor little Alice?
No!
Always lacking in attention
eager for either parent's affection
Never did she grow up to understand
Never did she come to know
what love means
And she continues to roam
the house that strangers after strangers
call their home
What few years of life
she was blessed with
continued behind the scenes;
decades of a shaded existence
wandering in a catacomb
taking refuge from wicked
stepmothers and Red Queens
Bedtime stories she couldn't even read
Without warm smiles tucking her in bed
No kind souls to give her whatever
she might need or to tell her
she is fucking dead
