This is a poem I wrote for Estella, a character in 'Great Expections' by Charles Dickens, I wrote it for an English lesson, but I wondered what you would think of it...


Estella

You twisted being

Emotionless, heartless and cold

What did you do to yourself?

Vulture, preying on men's hearts

Old, crippled woman

Sharing your soul with mine

You hate, I detest, you die, I live

Your legacy left in me

But, oh!

Here, he comes for me

With lost love in his heart

A burning flame for my cold soul

Alas, however much a flame burns

It will turn to embers one day

As it all begins again

The story of my hated love
