'Dearest Estella' by Floyd

When researching for my Estella character, I came across a poem on jottify called Dearest Estella by somebody called Floyd. The poem looks at Estella from Pip's point of view, and it is written in the style of a letter.  It's interesting to see how someone else has portrayed how Pip might be feeling towards Estella.

The poem is shown below:

You have the sweetest of smiles,

but lips of the bitterest taste

eyes of a Siren’s – entrapped when I saw you

You were future, my expectations,

and my fate.

A praying mantis –

Seductively deadly, but how can I resist?

You warned me, I listened

But I was too eager. Your fool, dazed

burned from your kiss.

‘‘How does she use you, Pip; how does she use you?’’

You tempt, corrupt, leave me breathless – to name but a few

But you know, my love, that was intended – but here is the unanswered question

‘’How has she used you?’’

Adopted and corrupted –

Love and happiness lost – hatred will always succeed

Her only source of sunshine in the Satis house

- traded for a marriage built on vengence and greed.

You were made to be cold,

I was born wretchedly weak

A goddess, a player of merciless men

I yearn for the day our hearts will find each other

our fingers will intertwine, never to be forced apart again.
