The Witch Doesn't Burn in This One by Amanda Lovelace
3.0
˗ˏˋ 3⭐ ˎˊ˗
i’ve read a lot of amanda lovelace’s works, and overall they’re enjoyable; same with this one. i could connect with some, and others no.
favorite quote:
gather ‘round, gather ‘round. are you comfortable?
very good. because this poem goes out to all the match-boys who mistakenly considered me to be a silly little girl unworthy of their truth, unworthy of their love, & unworthy of their respect. know that every time you jerk awake mid-freefall, it was me who pushed you out of you 3 a.m. dreams. & know that whenever you feel that chill creeping up & down your spine on a warm summer’s day, i’m the one who’s been dancing all over your grave. & know that whenever you think you spot a shadow in your peripheral, it’s just me, making you never hurt another woman again.
it’s such a shame that you will finally have to learn that there are consequences to treating women like they’re nothing.
you may have gotten to walk away, but a piece of me will follow you forever.
now isn’t that romantic?
-vengeance is the new moving on.
