Alice

"Off with her head!"
The Queen of Hearts said,
"for she's young and she's reckless and better off dead."
She was tied to a thread,
But tried to run instead
From a fate of a dream too far into dread.
The skies were blood red
When she leapt from her bed.
She jumped off a cliff,
And she lost her head.

Blue Eyed Monsters

The little girl. With eager blue eyes. Hands so pale. And soft as the skies. Smile sweetly. Innocent and true. The most peculiar feeling. Drips over you. Take her hand. Lead into her lair.
