Who follows a rabbit anyway

When the world came crashing I was lost and afraid
Everything I knew was gone and no one knew my name
I would walk for countless hours and sleep under and open sky
I became a different person in a mirror I didn't even recognize I
I was angry all the time and kept to myself
My fake smile showing brightly while my heart stayed on a shelf
I followed the rabbit through the hole to place of elaborate wonder
But lies and thieves were all I found in the deep darkness and thunder
It sucks out your soul and and tries to extinguish your spark
But I pressed on finding all the pieces of my once beautiful heart
I put it back together like a stitched up villain from a movie
And people could see the scars and wanted nothing to do with me
So I kept them covered and acted like everything was fine
I started to dig myself out of that world that wasn't mine
My heart started to react and the scars would slowly fade
It realized it was okay to occasionally leave the shade
The world can be so bright if you can spot the joy
It took years in the dark to see the love a child can get from a simple toy
Knowing what makes people happy and truly understanding their pain
I was so ecstatic when she showed me the joy of happy rain
My world grew even brighter as she sees the joys i bring her life
It only took about 4 months and I would have given everything to make her my wife
I opened up completely I showed her all of hearts scars
She took it and put it in a box and handed me a jar
Here is my heart, it has scars too,
Take care of it while I look after yours true
And I wouldn't have believed her but the scars slowly went away
What a miracle had happened, in her arms I shall always stay
Then a funny thing happened walking her home one night
Our two hearts came together and joined in the pale moonlight
We both just sat there watching them become one
Even as we were both smiling inside she thought what have I done
I need to undo this, this isn't the right time
Help me figure out what parts are mine
It needs to go back behind the walls in the jar
How could I have let go I have kept it mine so far
I just sat there confused my open mouth on the floor
Why should I help you when you watched them evolve into something more
I didn't know it happened until it was to late
Please help me untangle this for I made a mistake
I let go to early it isn't the right time
You need to help me with this, it needs to be unwind
So here I am now still puzzling the thought
It isn't something I can return it was never even bought
Do I cut my heart again to pull it off of hers
Or do I let it flourish and admire the new curves
Like the way it bends and flickers when we are near
The way it holds my head up even when It wants to tear
Will cutting it apart send me back inside the darkness of wonderland
That is my last question as I stand here while she puts a scalpel in my hand

Beautiful. What a story it tells. So much saddness but then a new found happy. Hopefully she realizes what she has and doesn't make you cut it apart. It is interesting the way you put the two mangled hearts together and wrote about watching the newly attached hearts flourish into something else. I really love this poem!

[HANDSOME HATTER]

The sadness that comes from within this character is only matched by his equal light side. That helps him understand how in times of desolate sadness there is a possibility of an unknown happiness waiting in the shadows.

You should add more. I would like to read some new stuff.
