The Narcissist of Necromancy

and how I cut him off before he could pull the strings.

By Rae JanneyPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

You pathetic excuse of a necromancer

trying to resurrect the skeletons in my closet.

Don’t you realize

I’m the one who put them there in the first place!

I bleached away the blood.

I scraped their sinews.

I polished their bones like silver.

Misery likes company.

and through the years I’ve hid there,

avoiding the eyes of Judgment,

we’ve come to know one another.

And I call them by name:

Zoey

Dianna

Lilith

Mörghana

Each one of them a reminder of

the girl who was born

and the witch who was born to be.

How dare you try to lure them to your side.

For I am not only their mother-

I am their queen.

They bow to no one,

but me.
