Via The Staircase
The alarm goes off the run, to fly,
 Lifeboats inflate in her heart
 His hat is turned so downwards,
 His grey eyes, so far apart.
 
 The legs of the table crumble
 From the sudden weight of her guilt,
 A fire stoked inside her,
 And a frozen temple built.
 
 He looks on in confusion,
 And she, in great despair,
 Outside she stands laughing,
 But there's danger in the air.
 
 The well grows ever deeper,
 The water, grey as his eyes,
 As she sinks, she sees the bubbles
 Float towards the watery skies
 
 In the darkness of the bottom,
 Light shines like a tiny sun,
 The brightness of his smile
 As she slowly comes undone.
