I Am a Witch

I am a witch,

Loved yet hated,

Fire is my domain,

My blessing and curse.

For though I give warmth,

I may burn all who touch me.

With this life, I swore to live,

But here I am alone,

Longing for a love I can never have.

Bitterness and joy,

Envy fills my heart,

When I see the life I wished to have,

The life I can never be given.

I am a witch,

Fire is my domain,

My voice is my spell,

A blessing and a curse,

For who would trust my words?

Who would dare listen?

I swore never to waste my days away,

But here I am, hidden away,

As sadness drowns my already broken heart.

My fire gifts warmth,

But I may burn all who touch me.

I am a witch,

Loved yet hated,

Cursed to be forever alone.

I give, I sing,

I scream, I pray,

I burn,

Till my bitterness and joy,

The envy and sadness,

Till it all becomes ash,

Till I, the witch,

Are no more,
