Futon

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
