A Mirror Reflected in Their Writing

Did they plan it all, to write it all, of their inner most feelings and thoughts.
l think they did. just like their poetry, they couldn't help them selves.
l had visions of them today, sitting at their writing desk, or hurriedly, at any spare table available. Papers strewn, pen and ink, untidily about the room. l think that's when they wrote the best.
Sad stories, emotional pain, written in every line from what iv learnt so far.
Not much yet, as l never wanted to know before, untill , for some reason, today l took interest. 
l thought l knew them, little did l know, l knew nothing about them. shame on me.
But l think now its possible  for me to really know their inner most soul, just by their writing.
So l will search the meaning in every one of their written lines, for l really care.
l need to know, l owe it to them, they died in the prime of their lives.
What even more POWERFUL written work could have continued....
from the Bronte Sisters.

Personally I prefer Jane Austen, but Jane Eyre is a powerful book. Your writing is more prose than poetry, but there is a quality of verse running through. Your style is not poetic but you use soft words that lead to poetry.

You ask about the style. I am no expert either but, to me, it looks like prose poetry. You might want to read that definition and see if it fits. I hope this helpful.
