A Rose For Emily

I just got done reading the this short story and although it was a good story I found myself being confused at the end like did she kill Homer? Did the actually get married and then she used the poison she bought to kill him? I mean she was all alone and everyone she knew had left her so did she just keep him there so she wouldnt have to be alone? This story has a lot of detail and it helps you picture what is happening through out the story but i am not sure i liked it. Like it is well written but I dont understand the message the author is trying to get across or even if there is one.
