The setting sun paints cozy rectangles
Across the floor where I sit,
The temperature tugging my eyelids.
As I lie down, swiftly succumbing,
Your words are my lullaby.

It's very interesting. I love how the main writting part is about the scenery and then the last words are the story. Very well done!
