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
