The Devil and The Witch
May 2, 2019
All around flames flicker in mockery
His steps, cloven-footed, dance in thick blood
I should’ve listened to the augury
My mind hagridden, I drop with a thud
Dress once pure, now tainted in heathen’s gore
His steps draw near to my disheveled form
A coward I’ve become, brave nevermore
I ought to be shamed for bringing this storm
Blinded by greed, I summoned this damned beast
Slaughtering a coven to quench his thirst
Memories rot, friends once close now deceased
This jealousy wove my soul to a curse
With his silk-tongued words, I became convinced
Hand outstretched, his Faustian waltz commenced
