Castle of Despair

Fragrant jasmine
covered the outer walls
masking the coldness of the weathered,
symmetrically placed stones
From the outside,
one might romanticize
life inside
Endless corridors,
behind locked doors
her heart is weak, skin chilled,
and dried blood encrusts her nail bed
where she tirelessly
tore away at walls
that closed her in
Roaming endlessly
cold sleepless nights
chasing shadows that danced pirouettes
around her mockingly
without a care
loneliness befriends her
in this Castle of Despair
