Blood pools at your feet On the mattress Where you stand Scarlet on freshly laundered white Another lifeline severed By the shakiest of hands that tremble in the light It's a short distance from the bed To the switch on the wall Yet the room stretches before you under the strain of it all

The Longest Three Steps
Blood pools at your feet On the mattress Where you stand Scarlet on freshly laundered white Another lifeline severed By the shakiest of hands that tremble in the light It's a short distance from the bed To the switch on the wall Yet the room stretches before you under the strain of it all
