Down the stairs I go
Alone in darkness
With a candle in hand
With it’s stone walls
And it’s stone stairs
Down the stairs I go
Hand on the wall
Damp and mossy
Supporting me
On my way down
Down the stairs I go
Other than footsteps
Is dripping of water
Splashing down on my head
Extinguishing my candle
Down the stairs I go
Alone in darkness
With my candle
That no longer emits light
On an endless flight of stairs
Alone in the dark
With light gone
With a cold taste in my mouth
Placing my candle
Onto the damp stone stairs
Down the stairs I go
Alone in darkness
Stumbling on a step
Falling down fast
Down many steps
As I got back up
And continued my way
I seem to be in place
As if stairs were moving
And not me
Then I turned around
Looking behind me
I see some bright light
And I finally realize
It was my imagination
