The Witch's Spindle

I place my heart on the witch's spindle
In hopes of getting the love she prophesies
Instead I watched her rip and shred
Upon her magic spindle did my heart writhe
Questioning her motives, I pleaded “why?”

The witch answered with her crooked smile,
“Your heart was too tough you needed heartbreak
Through misery and pain a heart softens
You must endure to find the one that will mend it
To find the love you seek-there comes a heavy price”

Falling on bended knee, I begged that it wasn’t so
Only silence from the witch befell my wanting ears
Empty tears fell from vacant eyes to the witch's spindle
To find true love there must come terrible heartache
Grabbing my weathered heart, I walked away

Head hung low in despair to think of what has befallen
Holding the remnants of the strong beating heart
Tears fall upon the open wounds, the witch created
In that moment it had enlightened me of this horror

To find the love you seek, you must endure such misery
