I climbed up the stairs
having switched off the light
My legs took the steps in pairs
my eyes hadn't adjusted yet to the night
The beat of my heart goes higher
I stop and close my eyes
Waiting for it to tire
not thinking about what lies
behind me.

I climbed up the stairs
having switched off the light
My legs took the steps in pairs
my eyes hadn't adjusted yet to the night
The beat of my heart goes higher
I stop and close my eyes
Waiting for it to tire
not thinking about what lies
behind me.
