Once there was a woman...

Once there was a woman,
They called her obsessed,
How she stalked the lonely widower
And dressed how his wife used to dress

She called him day and night
And wrote things on his walls.
She always asked him what he wanted
And filled his phone with missed calls.

Once there was a woman
And when she asked the man what he wanted
He said silence,
He felt like he was being haunted.

Once there was a woman,
She crept into his house,
She sewed her lips together
And become as quiet as a mouse.

The man woke up to painted walls
And the woman wouldn't leave.
The fear took over as he went
To his balcony to take the fatal leap.

The woman cried for years,
She never ate a thing.
Drowned her sorrows in tears
And never slept a wink.

The loss and pain fuelled her body
And kept her alive.
She spent her days alone.
In sadness did the thrive.

Once there was a woman
Who had too much patience
For her love to come home
And regain the silence.

Thanks for reading! I know it's weird and I think I got the majority of the punctuation wrong but thank you!
