Via The Staircase
The alarm goes off the run, to fly,
Lifeboats inflate in her heart
His hat is turned so downwards,
His grey eyes, so far apart.
The legs of the table crumble
From the sudden weight of her guilt,
A fire stoked inside her,
And a frozen temple built.
He looks on in confusion,
And she, in great despair,
Outside she stands laughing,
But there's danger in the air.
The well grows ever deeper,
The water, grey as his eyes,
As she sinks, she sees the bubbles
Float towards the watery skies
In the darkness of the bottom,
Light shines like a tiny sun,
The brightness of his smile
As she slowly comes undone.
