Bewitched

Black cat on the windowsill

You said

Make a wish

Hold still

Lipstick stain on a chipped glass rim

You laughed as the lights went dim

Cards on the table

One by one

You called my future

Called me undone

I swore it’s tricks

You swore it’s fate

Somehow I’m walking back to your gate

I’m bewitched

Every word you spin

I’m tangled in it

Breath caught

Heart stitched

You say my name and all my doubts quit

I’m bewitched

Can’t shake the spell

Can’t break the fix

One touch

I’m hit

You raise your hand and I come back quick

Salt line on the hardwood floor

You trace my palm

Lock the door

Laugh lines curl at the corner of your eyes

You say the safest place is inside

Every time I swear I’m free

You draw a circle round my feet

Soft voice

Saying come to me

And I do

And I do

Like it’s meant to be
