SHE HAD A GAUNT HAUNTED FACE STARK IN ITS PALENESS

 

She had a gaunt haunted face, stark in its paleness

Her mouth was thin and the lips were colourless

The countenance was sad, her dark eyes hollow

And the frail being trembled in keenly felt sorrow

The reason for her broken world weary carriage

Was being locked in a cold loveless marriage

And the limits of her entrapment were narrow

Which she keenly felt deep in bone and marrow

She was a pitiful sight with eyes cast down

Skinny, bent and stooped and shoulders round

She was a poor creature, broken in mind and soul

But I was captivated and pledged to make her whole

So with a matter of weeks I broke the binding tether

And we made our escape, forever bound together
