Once upon a sunny day
I find a girl along my way
I'm going to the Tower for tea
Hey there, miss, why don't you join me?
I think she's already had enough
Of the Wonderland everybody loves
She looks pretty scared, so I'm nice
And make sure that my manners suffice
She seemed so confused when from the bushes I come
I can hear her heart beating like a drum
I laugh and smile and offer a hand
I can tell right away she can't understand
Lost in the woods, it would appear
"Well don't worry miss, I know my way around here!"
I say with a grin, and she doesn't complain
She says compared to the Hatters at least I seem sane
I laugh and smile as through the trees
Sun shines down through and she talks about dreams
I wonder what she's going on about
This place is real, of that I've no doubt
She says that Alice is her name
Alice and Ace sort of sound the same
I laugh at my joke that she doesn't get
So I continue to talk and try to forget
Hours pass or at least, I think
Because it's been three cycles; I take a drink
I offer her tea and she looks so confused
By the Outsider I'm already amused
By the sound of her beating heart
I think I might have found a start
For in this world I desire nothing more
Than to have her help opening the door
Within my chest there is a clock
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
I cannot love beyond myself as is
But I dare not speak of this
I'll let her take her good sweet time
Figuring out this world sublime
I don't say a word of love
As the birds sing in the trees high up above
But I know the day will come
When she'll go back to where she came from
I have until that bottle is full
For her into my hypothetical heart to pull
AN/Another HNKNA poem that will be divided into a few parts. This time it's told by Ace; he's a very interesting character to write. Hopefully this comes out as good as my Peter one XD
