I overheard the neighborhood kids calling it "the haunted house" the other day while running away giggling.

I wish you could see her,
you wouldn't even recognize her now.
the girl you left is a haggered, haunted old woman of 50.
bitter and cold she smiles only when she speaks of you.
she's told me stories about you as though they happened just yesterday,
she talks about you in a way that makes her feel as though you may come through the door at any moment.

you do have a way to tell those words.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
