ChristieFanForLife, You were 100% correct, but the responders who called her a victim confused me... SPOILER she says at the end that she died, but actually she killed her own interest in life. Nice AC touch, giving a clue which means one thing and seems to mean something completely different.

Elsa was a victim by her own hand. The thing is, she didn't realize just how much pain she would cause herself at the time. She is a miserable woman, one who has never really grown up emotionally. She's a murderess but she killed herself in the end, figuratively that is. When Elsa killed Amyas that day, little did she know that it was a double-edged sword. She's a victim but a different kind.
Speaking of the "clue" in the poem, I was hoping it was fair but not so easy that one would guess on the first try without asking any questions
Great clue, ChristieFanForLife! At first, I assumed that the person she was married to was the person she loved, but then when I realised it could be someone completely different, I stumbled upon Elsa Greer, who loved Amyas Crale so much it caused her "pain" and the idea of death by love. I loved your poem!

Gee, I hope my poem isn't vague.

My husband was so very clever,
To match up to him I never did endeavour,
Till one day I was to find,
My life from me had been severed.
