Cell-346

The woman in red
Who in tears fled
The tavern
Down by the dell

Was stopping on fancy
To stare at a pansy
So pretty and blue
And just like deja vu

She was taken to a time
When love was a crime
And broken hearts sighed
As society bruised them within

Nobody knew
Her love was who
Not a tall, dark Lord
But a Lady..

She had loved oh! so mighty
She was shorn- by one sprightly
Tattle-tailing wimp, a spinster
So dour and dumb and dense

So she fled from her bed
Yes, that woman dressed in red
And she swore to avenge her wronging

Centuries went by
And yet her ghost sighs
I learned all this-
In the Asylum
