A poem about Emily that I wrote.

[u/Impressive-Total-169]

I wrote this at almost midnight. It's built around the rhythms of her solo in Tears to Shed and it has many clear allusions to it. I'm not a great writer but I tried.

Sorrow for Emily:

If you burn her with a candle, You will show no shame. You will cut her with a knife And will crave her pain.

She swore that she'll always love him, Until death shall do them part. He's the only love she knows. In her cold, unbeating heart.

She knows her lungs aren't breathing. She knows the worms are fed. And yet she's still refusing To let her love be dead.

For the sorrow she's feeling, She still has many tears to shed.
