What If

What if the place where the love retreats to rest

was a comfortable room

with a fireplace

providing warmth and shelter

on a dark winter's night

what if dying meant being rocked to sleep

every so gently

in the soft embrace of

caring arms

and pure affection

what if the last thought we will ever have

was the memory

of a beloved

carrying us away

into the void

peacefully

and quiet

what if i was wrong

what if we simply fall

..and fall
