The walls are bare and stone cold white
And the ceiling looms above
As the sheets are stiff and unwelcoming
She slowly turns to him
Her restless eyes now fall on his lashes
And she feels warmth permeate through her
And once again her body thaws
The cold tears melt into salt
And her eyes gently close
She hopes to lay in peace tonight
Though the moon never sleeps
It watches her
She senses her sadness even in her dreams
Her body tries to find him and keep her safe
But she wanders, lost.
Until the morning this darkness
Haunts her to the core.
