The Darkest of Roses

To my corner I do retire
and pull the cover to my chest
I sit there and watch the fire
never to truly get my rest

Like the fire in my soul
the one who sits with me wains
and the air it is in becomes cold
the again in my heart.... pains.

I draw up inward,
I pull in fast
I reach my souls last shard,
hoping it can last.

The darkness does creep
and the quiet losses to thunder
I lay there calling sleep
Never  again a peaceful slumber.
