0 Guest Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) dizzy means dizzy (lightheaded, walls spinning, seeing things) You want drunk? He's in a room with white walls. I'm thinking somewhere 'sterile" but maybe I'm just thinking too much into it. Dizzy? Edited May 30, 2009 by lotus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
deannaart
The man sits in a room alone
With pure white walls surrounding
Slowly blood trickles down in pools
From the ceiling he's drowning
Orange, yellow, green and blue
The room a spinning kaleidoscope
The man just sits and watches
As he comes to the end of his rope
Now the room is spinning, swimming
At an alarming, yet tantalizing rate
Sadly, though, the man doesn't know
That this is to be his fate
