She lays on the bed, sprawled out and naked.
Red blankets swivel around her, she tossed and turned in the restless night.
I wanted nothing more than to kiss her and hold her close.
You see, she had been crying that night.
Her husband had left her and it seemed he wasn't coming back.
I was there for her, I cared for her.
Her warmth was all I could feel.
All I wanted to feel.
She was mine, forever and evermore.
I laid in the red blankets, soft. Oh so soft.
She stared back at me, her brown eyes covered by the red.
I cupped her cheek and whispers sweet nothings into her ear.
She was fast asleep by now.
I would soon be joining.
I looked at her one last time.
Her pale skin stood out in the slight darkness.
I smiled and rested my eyes.
I'll join soon my love.
