Falling down the rabbit hole,
Into the world they call Wonderland.
Falling and falling with subtlety and grace,
No way up, but down down down…
A portal to the unknown.
Where I will land, who I will find,
I do not know.

But gravity takes control,
There is no going back, this I know.
All that I knew,
All that I was,
Has taken its place in the past.
And as I fall further and further,
Darkness taking over,
Pieces of me are left behind.
Memories, no longer kept alive.

In colours, I once saw.
My mind, I once knew so well.
My thoughts, so simple, so clear,
There was certainty, no fear.
All have seemed to disappear.

This body I now carry, I do not recognize.
My hands and my feet, have taken new shape.
Visions of black and grey,
I can no longer escape.
I am forced to welcome its unfamiliarity,
its uncanny presence;
Experience its limitations, explore its essence.
Understand the other that has violated my entity,
Claims power over my destiny.

The fall seems endless,I’ve grown weary,
Numb to my transformation.
If only I could reach its destination,
Feel the ground beneath my feet again,
Control my every move, advance at my own pace;
Enter Wonderland, a new home,
I am forced to embrace.
I find myself on the far side of the moon
Wandering around on circular paths
Your memory follows me like a shadow in the night
A fixed mark of affection and confusion
You once held me tight within your arms
And for a little while I was content
Until I lost my breath
I asked you "Why?"
You told me it's because you love me.
I felt my heart slowly fall to pieces
And watched you collect them over the years
Carelessly placing them in your back pocket
So selfish and callous were your actions
Had you forgotten about words once said?
For the longest time you made me believe things would change
I waited.
Overtime I had nothing left to give
Seasons changed, yet my feelings remained the same
Empty.
My heart was yours
Everywhere you went you took it with you
Toyed with its pieces like a puzzle
Watched its colour fade
Its segments disperse into the cold night
Until there was nothing left,
You set off in search for more
And left me with a void beneath my chest.

Even though it has been ages
since we've talked
I know I got to you
I seeped under your skin
And I still reside there
Quietly waiting...
For you to feel that itch again
If you would just scratch
You could still feel me
Wow such a surprise~ Thanks HP for the daily selection honor and Thank you fellow poets for all the nice comments. I truly appreciate them all!!
