The Witch


The Witch
The witch comes like a thief in the night 
Mischief the witch allows
Fear the witch instills
Blood the witch wants
A masquerade it continues 
Feeding from what's within
Taunting every move
Until all is grasped and satisfaction is complete
The witch can allow no good life
Lies nor truth reveals her
Because she lies within us
Our souls infused
The witch does not surrender 
Unless the job is done 
Conjuring spirits to conquer all
There is no escaping the spell of the witch
You simply fall into her hands 
Because the witch is in our thoughts
To create a climate of fear 
The witch is in the shadows of mankind
No true identity
No pulse 
No breath
The witch.
