The Witch's Wishes

The Witch's Wishes

I am old and ugly.

I have been abandonded, left alone.

I know that no one would be seen with me.

If I were to go into town, I would surely be stoned.

Then one day, a family moves in a cottage,

But not just any, it's the one by mine.

They have a baby, soft as cotton.

I can't hold back my smile, even as she starts to whine.

Yet, I start become envious.

Why can my life not be as happy as theirs?

In my mind, their smiles become venomous.

I take their child, so they're the ones left in tears.

Repuzel, that is her new name.

Now I can live happily, and she is the ones to blame.
