Poem Title:
Poem
Her name is now a legend Before her name was feared The lady Henrietta Lean close and lend an ear They say her status started One night long time ago She found her husband cheating With the girl she knew next door Her mind did snap Her heart grew cold With a knife she stole their souls Cut the beating heart away Ate flesh when cold Within her veins flowed the blood Of the one who done her wrong Gave her everlasting life Her age in death was old But one small thing that should be said About the spell she cast That beauty would always be her guide In death she looked her best Word spread quickly through the town Where Henrietta lived About the spell she cast the night Her husband committed sin Women came to ask for help To change their husband’s ways For they had also messed around Now love for them had strayed With each one she gave the spell Steps to end their grief Now in the town such beauty found In women who’s husbands cheat With new found beauty each started life Fresh and young again And if the man they loved did cheat Revenge was sweet again Many many years went by And soon the town was gone Towards the end all that was left Were women who were scorned But in woods outside the town In a placed called Widow’s Peak You find plots of all the ones Whose death came from a cheat So this story lives today If you doubt then ask around For the one you love and share a life Could be a widow from that town All men beware all women ask Before you start your cheating In every city and every town A Widow’s Peak is forming Believe me if you will or not In the end you’ll heed the warning Just let the one you love find out To Widow’s Peak you’re going
