Your love is like a noose
And all the witches must be hanged.
The people who choose to look away
Are executioners too.
They can’t be saved.
If I only knew back then
The lengths your self-hate goes,
I would know when to leave.
But I was naïve
And it shows.
I heave from the pressure,
My nostrils shut closed.
Your soul’s a damn fixture,
The bruises you leave
Are your favourite ghosts.
Yet your love is still a noose,
No witch can be spared.
Some win and some lose.
But if you look the other way
You can’t be saved.
So hang me if you dare.
