Stairway to Hell
I passed you on a stairway
Somewhere back in time,
I just had to make you mine!
You tried to take me your way
Up where the skies are blue,
I had other plans for youβ¦
You wanted to go towards the light,
I dragged you down into the night
Through depths of dark despair.
Welcome home to the devilβs lair.
I pushed and you fell
Down the stairway to hellβ¦
These words came from a song the lead character in my book "Wychwood" is listening to. They mirror her life unravelling as she reflects on her abusive husband who has a heart forged in a foundry of darkness ...
