Horrid Touch
In the night desires
Next to the fireplace I sit
Looking at the fright
Items designed to bring fear
To instill them in my heart
The witches on top
Of the black enhanced mantel
Seem to stare at me
Black hats with purple ribbon
And the witch’s red ruby shoes
This brings fear to me
A horrid touch, scary fright
The witch’s harmful eyes
Burning brightly inside me
Causes me to falter and cry
