you raped a witch

Sorry I missed your wedding,

Someone must have forgot my invite.

You looked like a handsome groom,

And your bride looked lovely in white.

I’m not sure you heard

But as you bought a house,

Worked the corporate ladder,

And married a beautiful spouse,

I was putting myself back together,

Piece by piece, inch by inch,

Cause i’m not sure you knew

But you raped a witch.

And when we come back

We come back with a vengeance.

You stole what wasn’t yours

And made me fear my independence.

I locked myself in a cage.

I did magic spells and drank potions.

I cursed your name under the moon,

And felt all my emotions.

I spoke to the Divine Mother,

And prayed for your head.

I wanted you to suffer too,

I honestly wanted you dead.

But the dreams where I killed you

And your little friends too,

Always left me unfulfilled

And i still felt sad and blue.

So i began to connect back to me,

And let go of you and your horrors.

I learned to love myself,

And enjoyed life and her waters.

I would have stayed in hiding

Cause i built a life of beauty,

But i just couldn’t shake the feeling

That i had a mighty duty.

To come back from the dead,

And let you know that i know,

What you did that night in the woods,

Before I could fully let you go.

For you see the others you raped

They come to me at night,

And they whisper that i’m not alone

And together we can unite,

And rewrite a future history

Where we don’t live in fear

Everytime our daughters leave the house

That someone like you will appear.

So You thought we were playing checkers

And that I’d always live in fear and hate.

But the whole time i was playing chess

And I just moved my Queen to check mate.
