The Broken Nun

The Broken Nun

A Poem by Death's Poet

Cross round her neck, black was her cover

Through the thick mist she trecked, in search of her lover


Her hair strung down, covering her face

Nearly floating, solemnly keeping her pace


A lady of the night you think, so would most

But a nun she was, more correctly a ghost


In the habit she lived, was the habit in she died

For they found her secret "A traitor!" they cried


For this nun was found, in a lovers arm

Needless to say, her reputation took harm


Tore from him and her bed of so called sin

They burnt her at the steak, never to breath again


Each night she still walks, looking for the embrace of her love

Stuck here, as sadly, broken nuns aren't welcomed above.

Love this poem. The story flows steadily and works its way to very likeable finishing verse. Not to mention the creepy imagery.
