Rose petals lead the way through the suite
They covered the bed
And were carefully placed around the hot tub
The stage was set
All that was needed was him
She waited and waited
The hands of the clock kept moving
But she was frozen
She chanted, "He will come"
Over and over again
The water in the tub became cool
The rose petals became dry
Crumbling to dust
A few rose petals floated lifelessly in the tub
She gets in...
Still chanting....
Her body became lifeless, like the rose petals.... a warm red hue took over the water
A knock at the door, then another
He sees a single rose petal outside the door
He knocks again, intrigued by her lure
But their lust was deadly,  to be no more...

A new dawn, a new day...
The sun rises, like a ball of fire lighting up the sky
It looks like the start of a beautiful day
Then why the overwhelming fear taking over my mind and body
My hands shake, my mind is racing...
Is it my dreams haunting me, or anticipation of the day?
What happened last night, I have no memory...
I look around the room
It looks familiar
Where is my love?
I see an empty bottle on the dresser
I look around the room with urgency, vision still blurry
Then I see it
My love, calling me, ready to caress me and take away the fear
I take the first drink
My fear disappears, my body stops shakng
My love is holding me tight
I can't let go
A new dawn, a new day
My love will keep me safe, for at least another day
