Annabelle Lee

A Poem by Annabelle Lee
"

A rewrite of my namesake

"
It was about sevenish years ago    
In a city by the sea    
That a child there lived, by whom you may know    
As the little Annabelle Lee    
And this girl, she lived, with no other thought    
Than to live, there by the sea   

He was an infant, and I was a child     
In this city by the sea    
A tradgedy hit out of nowhere   
Ruining the life of Annabelle Lee    
With her heart that was broken into small pieces   
They took him away from me     

And the reason for this, was long ago    
In this city by the sea,         
As tradgedy hit, out of nowhere as said       
And took him away from me   
So that my infant brother left,    
To another home, far away from me    
And I shut up inside myself    
Trapped in a city by the sea   

I could be no more happy, not ever so relieved   
As when they reunited him and me    
Yes!- It was right I had my little bro      
In our city near the sea    
As the sun came out, and set at night        
Pleasing and teasing Annabelle Lee     

And our bond it is stronger by far than the bond        
Of those closer in age than we     
Of many far older than we      
And neither our mother, long after she'd gone        
Or the force that moves the sea     
Could ever dissever his soul from the soul     
Of that whom is known as me      

And the sun never shines without bringing my eyes      
Visions of my trap by the sea      
And the moon never beams without bringing me dreams    
Of that ocean once claimed by me     
As I stare at the sky I might even cry        
My prison, my cage, right by the tide     
And I will go back to finally free    
The childhood innocence of Annabelle Lee
