The Handprint

The Handprint



                  Sliding down the misted glass the handprint slips away
                      Left are only the streaks that frightened fingers made

                          Terrorized by this vision now forever imprinted in your mind
                              Paralyzed in your position too far away from the exit sign

                              Your sight is rendered useless blanketed within the vapors steam
                          The chill within fell way too deep settling in like gangrene 

                      Terrified trepid movement caught by your cornered eye
                  Death would be an improvement instead of waiting to just die...
