She was cast aside, a child, disgraced

No longer wanted in this place

She swore revenge, they knew not where

She would return, to find them there

Cowering still, in the blackened night

With only the glow from the candlelight

She followed it back, to the place she had left

Finding them sorrowful, sobbing, bereft

Why did they do that? How could they stay?

Surely she’d see them again, one day

Still, she felt no pity for those who had scorned

Malevolence, she had once forewarned
