Alice

She sits in my chair
As i stand and wait
As she contemplates
Alice
My life was empty
It’s just a hollow chasm for her to fill
While i can still
see her
Things will be just fine
Things will pass on by
given time
given time
my daughter loves me
I brushed her hair while she said
she’d be late
for her date
Rabbit
She finished praying
on her knees for the day
and I ask God
why he forgot
Alice
Don’t you be afraid
Life hides in the shade
and yes it’s true
I am you
