This staircase is darker than I remembered
Your scent still holds strong, though
The carpet scuffed the wrong way
Tells me all that I need to know

I sense a creepy presence
My shivers say it’s you
And this forbidden encounter
Is one I regret going to

I must keep my eyes stapled open
Despite the heavy breath on my neck
Noting to get a grip on myself
I promised to keep my senses in check

I feel a worn out rope around my wrists
But my pulse stays at it’s pace
Because in the old, undusted mirror
I can see relief on your face

You made your filthy closet my home
It’s as if I never moved out
I learned my harsh lesson so long ago
I no longer attempt to shout

I smile back at you from that
Pre-made bed that you sit upon
We laugh because in the end
They won’t notice that I’m gone

Finally you untie the scratchy rope
I still remember what I’m suppose to do
These nights were designed to remind me
Exactly why I love you
