The ‘Flaming Red’ blind, taken down and packed;
another torch gone from this room.
Division, methodical; so exact
but irony stirs in my womb.
Laying here in my ‘Mummy’ sleeping bag,
water beside me; no wine.
Not a lot left to me, with which to brag
but determined to keep what's mine.
You insisted; heads-or-tails, for the bed;
another ironical twist!
You’ve won the place, where I once laid my head
but you’ll never see, what you’ve missed.

Nice. Maybe 'What is' should be 'what's'....and I'm not sure about 'ironical'. Just a rhythm thing.
