Can I?

Alice's Tears

She imagined

A greater place.

She pondered about

An illogical oasis.

Once she got her dream

she sobbed.

  When she realized her mistake

It was too late.

 Why do you cry,child?

When you have what you wanted.

Why are you sad,young one?

This is what you wanted,-

Right?

 There was logic

In your fairytale world.

There was reason

In you make-believe castle

For you go frustrated

When the key was too far,

You began to cry

When no one helped.

Even your castle of you dreams

Had multiple mistakes

Even the sugary sweets

Tasted of bitter sorrow.

pain and confusion

cannot be erased

even in castles that sit under the surface.

Don't cry, dear Alice.

For you may drown in your tears

 yet still breathe. .

How did you not drown?

for you had oceans

and tides of tears and depression.

I,on the other hand,

only have silent and small,

painful tears that suffocate

. I am drowning in my own tears

while you are beginning to sail.

But it seems like you did not think with logic

When you began to sail.

I shall do the same, dear Alice.

For your tears were logical.

 I will think, next time, with my heart

and not me head. Stop crying, dear Alice.

The worst is gone

just get the key and

open the door.
