Love Poem: Unsettled Night

Unsettled Night

Unsettling the evening brings with it cold
As the night holds the last of the warmth
Burrows of her brow lives likely to unfold
And her heart leaves with it dire and soft

The night holds mysteries from her heart
Unsettling the evening brings with it cold
Where she buries her feelings to impart
Burrows of her brow lives likely to unfold

She freezes where men bring her flowers
The night holds mysteries from her heart
The time is elongated by the night towers
Where she buries her feelings to impart

No other person can understand her eyes
She freezes where men bring her flowers
It’s one of a many distinguished disguise
The time is elongated by the night towers

She forces herself to embellish the night
No other person can understand her eyes
Softly she extinguishes nearly gone sight
It’s one of a many distinguished disguise

As the night holds the last of the warmth
She forces herself to embellish the night
And her heart leaves with it dire and soft
Softly she extinguishes nearly gone sight

Anyone know if this is a form? It's not a true Pantoum! A reverse Pantoum maybe?
