I asked you please don't go there
I won't lose this gamble with you
Down the stairs you must have dropped me
Because I some up all alone
And the basement steps lasted forever
They went to the middle of the world
Where caves burned the the rubber of your shoes
With black hot fire
In you ****** up all the heat
And demons in your lungs
And right there
In the belly
I found the flashlight  and turned it on
White circles around everything that breaths in the dark

I followed you as deep as I could
But you were always weeping round the next corner
And your dress caught pieces on the stone
Until.    
One night
In the belly of a cavern
Surrounded on all sides by a lake
I found a glowing flower
On the wet sandy beach
And for a moment
I looked about me
The flashlight caught on every ruby
And millions flashed red
And reflected like moons
In the deep dark belly
