Revenge is Sweet

The bullying and bruising Went on and on for years, 'Til the time had come They'd atone for her tears Aimed at those people The cruel and the two-faced, For revenge is sweet ... And she wanted a taste If only they'd befriended her And if only they knew, The humble, homely girl Practiced a little voodoo All mouths sealed shut And all eyes went blind, The more they judged The more her spell bind No one stared as if All eyelids were sewn shut, No one whispered as if All throats had been cut Confused and in pain They clawed with each hand, As a power took over them Greater than any could understand With expanding waistlines To match their hips, As they ate the words That escaped their lips Satisfied and smiling She had reached her goal, They could never again Hurt another soft soul.
