My Annabel Lee

After reading firedaughter's "The Gardener" that was based off of "A Tell Tale Heart" which was by Poe, I decided to do a poem inspired by Poe as well, a poem called "Annabel Lee".

The Fates are ever so cruel
My heart could love
but it also could break
They foretold that for me love wasn't enough

They gave me her...
or rather gave her my heart
I knew the deep ties of love
as if I was but a string on Cupid's harp

Life was heavenly happiness
but even divine strings can break
as if by a formal decree
commanded by The Fates

It came in the form of a plague
a silent calender with a deadline
I knew all to late
and I had to bury a girl whose heart was mine

I cursed The wretched Fates
for casting their hex
I cursed them and I cursed love
for I never knew what to do next

So I withered away into dust
unable to escape my darkened state
and then The Fates gave me a gift
I was with her again, at the white gates
