A Brief History Of Alice

History is full of 

Songs about you

From Neruda to Beatles

They talked only of you

Some called you Alice

Some called you Jane

Throughout your days

You had many names

They write about your smile

Your eyes, your hair

They write & write & write

& tell you how much they care

But they don't even know you

Who you really are

Underneath your perfect image

You're just another canvas

Blank and bare

The white of your page

Tempts them to spread

Like fog upon a lake

And it only goes to show

That I'm one of them

The ones once lost

But in you, found again
