The Curse
This witch has cast a curse.
I was left watching things steadily turn worse.
Everything used to be so interesting, but now nothing intrigued me.
I woke up one morning and I felt so fatigued.
I couldn’t control it, you know I tried.
I seemed happy from outside but on the inside I cried.
I was mentally distraught,
I tried to get rid of you, I fought and I fought.
They tried giving advice,
But trusting you from the beginning was a sacrifice.
I told myself I would never be the same
And that you were the one to blame.
But things of the past have been carried away with the breeze.
I believe manipulation itself is a deadly disease.
When I look into someone’s eyes, eyes aren’t all I see.
I see someone who’s roots go deeper than a fig tree.
No matter how much they wind attempts to tear them from the ground,
They they stand up and turn around.
