Illusions

The rabbit in my yard
pulled a shard,
a clover leaf out from the grass
then he blinked and he said
"Come be led
through your own illusion of glass."
 
I knew I had to go
down a hole--
so much deeper, way into my soul
then I heard him say
"Come my way
on this savagely beautiful day."
 
"Don't go!" the flowers said,  
shook their heads
a dewy tear rolled down from their eyes,
"It's really not that wise
to keep on looking to see what you'll find."
 
But then I bade them farewell,
what the hell,
the rabbit grinned and said "Baby let's go
don't you know
it's all there for you, down in the hole."
 
And so I followed him in
felt like sin
then everything came crystal clear
you were near
weaving all your illusions again.
 
So I cried
and cut off the binding soul ties
that we made
in the grave
the place where we used to go play
 
And I saw  
what you said
the words of love that you wove in my head
they were dead
from the start
stabbed an inkwell of black in my heart
 
The rabbit soothed my mind
asked, did I find
the truth behind all of the lies
from your sighs
and deceptively debonair wiles
 
Oh, my life
all your lies
carefully packaged in schemes
fell apart  
at the seams
you never were who you said all the while
 
So I stayed
all that day
with the rabbit inside of his lair
thought you cared
and I dared
to have some hope but all went away
 
And I'll pray
that maybe justice will find you someday
King of Hearts
filling carts
of lovers you've left in your wake
 
Adios--
time to go
back to sleep in the warmth of the den
once again
and the rabbit becomes all that I know.
