I tried to unravel the story - to make sense of what you said.

I pulled out a pinboard and connected pictures with red thread;

I stabbed a pin through the paper chest of the man you called dead,

the missing man I searched forever for, only to find bloodshed.

You said you saw a bullet through his head,

You said when I had a lead on you, I was mislead -

Red thread pooled on the floor,

Stretched across the room, blocking the door,

And do you know what it lead to? Do you know what I saw,

When I unravelled the story, that shocked me to my core?

You said you saw a bullet through his head,

Said you watched as a stranger shot him dead,

But instead,

I draw the thread around the room and place my final pin

upon your name.
