“Witch!”
You cry with shrill, frightened voice
Do you imagine insult?
Make no mistake
It’s pride I take

A craft I learned
With blood and tears
Take a bow, now you’re the weak one
For you helped hone my skills
On the flesh of your mind and emotions

You lash out no more
For you finally understand
The power I derive
Comes from the hate you expel
And now you tremble with unbridled fear

So take your pathetic shell of self
You were never any more
My spell wasn’t to hurt
But rather to show you
For exactly what you are

Now that it is out and loose in the world, I hope the evening rests gently on your soul.
