The Witch

I was walking by, when I passed the witch

Who sits not too far from the ditch

She called me in a raised voice

Way above the street’s noise

I came back to listen not in a haste

She said she saw my future in a daze

Though she said something good about my love life

I just hope this time, she is right

‘cos it’s rather too hard

To endure another broken heart

She said it’s as white as snow

I asked, how did she know?

That the next one would walk down the aisle

I asked, I just hope he is not idle?

She said I need to believe

But it’s just what I perceived

My heart has been broken too many times

And it’s difficult to accept what I conceived as lies

Do you blame me?

What would you do if you were me?

I don’t believe in her powers

But don’t think I’m a doubter

To be sincere she has made me prouder

With that little encounter

I just hope she’s right

That the time is ripe

I wish he shows up with flowers

‘cos I can’t resist such offer
