Bed Of Roses

Lay me down
On a bed of roses
Throw me away
In a sea of dismay
Hold me close
As the storm clouds
Refuse stray
Cover me up
With longing and Despair
Whisper gently
Letting me know
You still care
I will face the world
Gladly alone
As long as you help
Catch the first stone
Cast away my demons
As if they
Were your own
Hold out your hand
Take me to paths
Not yet known
Hold me gentle
Against the winter cold
Love me like crazy
Make yourself
My new home.

Reminds me of a song by Bon Jovi 'Bed of Roses'.

"I want to lay you down in a bed of roses. For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails."
