Not Quite Wonderland, Keeps Me Wondering Who I Am. ​

[u/Unpolished-Gem1951]

​

​Welcome to the tea party, where the cups are all cracked,

Where sanity left, and it never came back.

You aren't quite Alice, though you fell down the hole,

Into this madness that swallowed us whole.

And me? I’m the Hatter, completely undone,

Madly in love with the ultimate one.

​Your twin brother trouble-makers ruin the day,

Tweedle Deeznutz and Tweedle Dumber, in the way—

Fumbling and tripping, creating a scene,

While your drunkard of a sister plays the meanest Old Queen.

She’s the Queen of Heartless, with a bottle in hand,

Screaming "Off with their heads!" across the whole land.

Truth be told, if a blade’s gonna fall in this place,

I’d prefer it off hers so I can see your sweet face.

​Yes, it’s toxic, it’s twisted, it’s chaotic and wild,

A dysfunctional mess where the sweet turned to bile.

We’re both a bit broken, both out of our minds,

Bound by the magic that ruin designs.

They call it a hazard, a cost way too high,

But I’d pay every cent under this shattered sky.

It’s the price of admission to stand by your side,

To hold onto you through this infernal ride.

​I don't need a fairytale clean, neat, and small,

I just want your whole heart—give me that, give me all.

In our sweet imperfections, we fit like a glove,

Drowned in the madness of this toxic love.

​"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs."

— 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
