To Wonderland Come
I'm shivering alone in this cave of mine
Lost, without a plan
Cursing, what I am
Then suddenly your whispers played
I heard promises of a wonderland
And desperately reached for your
HAND!
IN MINE
INTERTWINED
A LIGHT ENTERED THE DARK
I FELT
MY HEART
HUSH HAPPILY WITH DELIGHT
Now I have you here, and I truly see
This cave of my memory isn't a home for me
I'm mesmerized by the light in your eyes
Shimmering, with life
Happy, unlike mine
You promised you'd take me away
So I believed in you
And you believed in
ME!
MY FLOOD
MY CRY
WE DANCED OUT OF THE DARK
I FELT
A SPARK
RUSH ME BACK TO LIFE
Now you have me here, and I truly believe,
The wonderland you're from is where I want to be
I'm scared, I'll fail, I'll break again
As free as I am, I feel the haunt of a hazy requiem
Numb from constant hesitation
Swimming in a pool of godly medicine
"Come, come" I hear you calling
Yelling, you're an angel, my only chance at ever feeling happy and heavenly again,
Give me life
ME!
I CRIED
OUT "GOD,"
YOU'VE SAVED ME FROM THE DARK
I FELT
YOUR HEART
BLUSH WILDLY AROUND MY SIDES
This wonder isn't a land
It's my own, it's within me
My god, it feels the way you promised it to be

good stuff but your metaphors need some more work on them. Don't just state the obvious, take it and make it yours. Bring perspective and originality even to the most common thing.
