Like a pearl dropped in red dark wine,
Your pale face sank within my heart,
Not to be mine, yet always mine.
The cruel agonies, the poignant struggles,
the bitter tears have been replaced by a tender companion…
pale and gentle Melancholy

Thank you Susan!!

Miss Havisham…who is it…never heard about her ?
Foxfires replied
She is a wonderful character out of a Charles Dickens story, who was abandoned on her wedding day. So she grows old, always wearing her wedding gown, and never taking down the decorations of the wedding feast. A haunted, abandoned love. :D
