Clandestine meetings Secrets and lies Forbidden love Slicing unbreakable ties Stealing love from another Ignorance your bliss Always hiding in cover
Blowing up lives Causing pain Years of happiness Now down the drain Excitement disguised As love evermore Nothing can compete Like a rabid carnivore
Passion turned to hate Anger and cruelty abound Someone’s marriage in tatters You, continuing to confound As quick as it began One day you’re gone Without a goodbye The end of a love song
They said, “If the broom fits, ride it!” And she did, of course Controlling, fearless and fierce Aware of all secrets And what might be source
Gifted with calculating skills And knowing where souls and skeletons were concealed She used information acquired Holding feet to the fire Shameful stories were revealed
Stopping one day To take refreshment From an offered chalice It was poison she drank That took her life A death from obvious malice
Despised by her enemies Loved by her followers She was both target and idol An illustrious force of nature A hurricane in a sandstorm No one could ever unbridle
RIP you crazy witch and haunt us no more It’s enough we have to see A constant calling card Your hat on a pole When all we want is to be free
In this jungle where love hides deep camouflaged from scrutiny and preferring to sleep Harmony is rationed for all but a lucky few Kill or be killed in a game for only two
Beware the predators Stalking their prey Like lambs to the slaughter and so easy to sway Sliding down a slippery slope Know that in the end There is always hope
