Just a Moment Too Late

Flowing behind the wall
Slink across the floor
Stumble down the stairs
Tripping out the door

Silhouettes surround
Leaning in securely
Gravitating around
Arms tightly encircling

Eyes sparkling brightly
Flaming with desire
Lips pursed tightly
Hearts beat as one

Blood drips silently 
Crimson pools accumulate 
Body slumped lifelessly
Just a moment too late
