The Cold Room

Feverish Smiles grace the faces of disturbed creatures Harsh Heartbeats slam through bodies, Uncontrollable The needle it hurts but you know it gets worse You look toward your own and you want to go home Close your eyes tight then open them wide one day you'll see love, one day you'll see light, one day you'll see life After your time in the room with the man with the blood on his hands With your teeth that are clenched and your fist in a ball Tears and confusion melt through your skin, your insides fall to the floor, the cold tile floor.
