the well out back

[johnny trance]

the well out back
has dried
reflections like tears
have fallen
by her weary side

black dresses and
candles-

wooden benches,
drawn shades, and
stain-glassed memories
taint this otherwise
perfect day

a ghost locked in the corner
pondering
an un-kept bed

she laid down
to
rest
and
awoke
an
angel

and staggered upstairs

[BleedingAkasha]

interesting. but i like it...i've always been a sucker for imagery of weak, unfortunate women. its a character flaw. i also like the morbid undertone of the whole poem

Nice intro your imagery is a lot better than mine
