He looked at her, an old woman of hexes and potions
Hidden away on a mountainside along a narrow trail,
Selling cures and mixtures to stir the deep emotions
Made by one of tangled hair and skin much too pale,
Her that sleeps on dirty mats in a drafty shack
“How can I be sure” he says “it will not fail”
“If it does not,” she coos “ just bring it back,
but be warned of who quaffs lingering devotion
will never change and never fade or lack
She will cling always with a loving never lost”
And then she shouted to he retreating back
“the antidote is four times the cost”

Can you hear my cries, can you hear my pleads, will you watch me burn...or would you bleed for me?
