she turned the light on for me, you see

my eyes sewn shut, she took out the dirty thread

The crying raven switched the narrative so cleverly

Stunning, after-all

A turn of events to keep me

Feeling like I would fall

If I left him

I kept my crypt nearby

I knew I was meant to die

If I did not try

To escape that raven’s cool clutches

If I left now

His little raven murder family

Would cry that I was the villain!

Oh

What a stunning

Narrative switch!

She left the light on and I kept it on

Filling that empty hole with a

New secret wish.
