oh, dear. don't cry.

in the land of comparison, there is no winner. 
no absolutes. just...broken scales
tainted by the sands of time
stained by the sorrow of yesterday 

and nobody knows how to play the game anymore. 
it's all convoluted
where up should be down, east is west
and the sky is green and the grass is blue

the problem lies within the human heart
for above all, it is deceitful. 
for one day, it could tell you you're unworthy of it all
and the next, it reminds you that you're falling in love

alice in wonderland made more sense than this uncharted territory
...at least for me. 

prince charming prefers going for walks now 
and hourglasses are frozen in place
a pawn from the life-size chess board is left alone in the dark night
the living candle is constantly looking over his shoulder. 

while the universe may be against some altogether
i'm altogether sure that i'm just in an alternate universe.
