White wood so cheap

     to bring the price low

a bargain for those who

     cannot afford anything more

stain of rich brown

     to appear walnut be

applied yet so thin

     that no one fooled is

mattress of batting hard

     coarse fabric covered in

comfort having so brief

     long enough to sold be

mattress King size is

     covered in linen sheets

with blankets oh so soft

     long night with comfort be

thoughts have fled away

     tangled shadows just remain

twisted in the night

     tortured memories remain

lovers in the spring

     all time was theirs to share

joy to always be

     together to always stay

fears twisted in the night

     of love that would always be

now to flee away

     and be parted in the night

memories still remain

     in one who does recall

in sorrow tears do fall

     knowing they cannot remain

for the guests who never came

     in basement dark and cold

one now just make their bed

     that the other and comfort will be

crying in the night

     in sleep that twisted be

alone in darkness to stay

     until the end of days
