Could you help me analyze this poem and explain the symbols used as well as any other literary devices?

The Unquiet Bed

The woman I am

is not what you see

I'm not just bones

and crockery

the woman I am

knew love and hate

hating the chains

that parents make

longing that love

might set men free

yet hold them fast

in loyalty

the woman I am

is not what you see

move over love

make room for me

  1. Its saying im not made up of bones im fat

    its confessing  that the woman you see is not skinny and pretty Thats why longing the love for men makes the guys run away (it sets them free) but you grab them before they all run away then its saying the woman i am is not what you see

    even though im fat  give me more love

    So the woman is very desperate for guys but shes fat so all the guys run away . But because she disguised as a skinny girl, (bones) she snatches them before they run away.  

    no?


  2. I loved it, it flowed and was beautiful good job.
