Alice Speaks

I worry so
When she closes her eyes
It is most curious
How all she wants 
To do is sleep
Life is full of adventures
But she is too preoccupied 
To find them
I fell asleep once
Under the tree by the river 
It was a most glorious feeling
But I woke up again
She never wakes up
Not fully 
I wish she would 
I need her
As much as she needs me
Belief is how we become 
How we are remembered 
By the things we do
She will not be remembered 
By much if all she does is sleep
Well, I understand it is not quite sleep
I drank a potion once too
I put my hand on her head
She likes that
It is cool 
And she is fevered
I want the best
For my friend Jae
But she will only truly be awake
If she wants the best for herself.
