Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Chains

images courtesy of Ella Wilson

This empty shell she called her home
She roams her hell after the gloam
Imprisoned within as a lover's possesion
"I am not free; my heart is chained
By jealousy, my love constrained."
By his hand she died after making confession.

That is exactly how I imagine it feels to live in a big house after a loved one passed on there. Eerie!
