Tired

Location

I thought I heard a crash near the top of the staircase,

so I fumbled with the matchbox,

and I tumbled out of bed.

 

I thought I heard a crash near the top of the staircase,

so I hurtled towards the steps,

and I goggled at their depth.

 

You ain't ever seen steps so deep,

so deep they'd bring a tear to your eye,

so deep they'd damn near break your heart,

so deep they'd keep swallow you whole.

 

I heard a crash near the top of the staircase,

but I turned around and stumbled back into bed.
