A secret. A beautiful kind secret.
A sweet heart, Sad and lonely.
Breaking laws, breaking rules.
She lives in the darkness above.

Ever rooted to the window.
Looking out over the land around.
Scared to leave, longing to go.
She stares out though no one sees.

At this little window she waits.
Quiet and sad.
Seeing all.
Saying nothing.

Where she watches and sees.
The outside world -
which has her hidden inside.
Trapped forever in her hole of hell.

The dusty old place she's been condemned to.
Where forgotten discarded items are.
That what she has been labeled as.
A discarded item forever tossed away.

Describe the attic. Make the Scenery reflect the mood and attitude of the ghost. This is a litereary device called "pathetic fallacy" (where pathos means emotion ... ie. pathetic). Almost manage some lmagery here, but a poem doen notneed to be pure realism and someone repeatedly stating exactly how their subject feels. This falls a bit short, sorry.

thx... although I think it's pathetic that one of my friends is the only one to read it
