The weight of the guilt I have For the things I said about you before you died Sit on my chest Press me to death like a Salem witch. Every time I drink I indulge in my tears That I have no right to; All I cared about when you were alive was vengeance for the way You made me feel, When I should’ve thanked you for opening my eyes And I should’ve looked right through you With open eyes- And seen that you were dying inside. I wrote that you were dead to me, Not intending it quite literally Not wanting for awhile I manifested that for you- I await my witch trial.

Witch
The weight of the guilt I have For the things I said about you before you died Sit on my chest Press me to death like a Salem witch. Every time I drink I indulge in my tears That I have no right to; All I cared about when you were alive was vengeance for the way You made me feel, When I should’ve thanked you for opening my eyes And I should’ve looked right through you With open eyes- And seen that you were dying inside. I wrote that you were dead to me, Not intending it quite literally Not wanting for awhile I manifested that for you- I await my witch trial.
