A Rose for Emily Poem


Abandoned

Her father dead

Her lover left her alone

 

She met Homer Baron

She was rescued

They were to be married

 

She fell apart

She was once social and beautiful

Now she hides herself from the world

 

She let herself go

Her house was once neat and attractive

Now it is decayed and unkempt 

 

She had a secret

Homer Baron was dead

Did she kill him?

 

Rest in Peace Emily Grierson

She doesn’t have to hide herself and her secrets

She doesn’t have to show her face

She is now free to be alone
