Miss Havisham Oct 2013

Cold

Fireplaces burning bright,
And yet I am cold.

-M.H.-

Dimly lit

Wax drips from candles
Placed in sconces on the walls
To light up the house.

Loneliness

Jilted and left in despair,
This loneliness will never
Cease.

-M.H.-

Miss Havisham Oct 2013

Ruin

No light shines through curtains,
So thick with dust of time.
White lace and linen faded,
And cobwebs seen everywhere.

-M.H.-

Decay

I am left alone to decay.
Everything turns back to dust.

-M.H.-

Miss Havisham Oct 2013

Each day the pain prevails,
Will it cease? No. Never.
Heartbroken and alone I live,
Pain being my only companion.

-M.H.-
