Red.
All I see is red.
My heart pounds, I can hear it clearly.
There's a fuzzy dark figure in the red mist.

The rope around my neck tightens.
My ring finger hurts.

You caress my face.
You're smiling at me.

The red is slowly fading.
Your face becomes clearer.
I don't recognise you.
But I love you.

I see red drip down your neck.
I feel liquid seep from my neck onto my chest.
We are one and the same.
The chords around us.

Red string.
All around.

Twisting around our necks.
Our fingers connected.
Your blue eyes contrast the red.
I can feel myself breathing a bit easier.

I can feel your warmth.
There's no mistaking what we are.

Intertwined.
