SLAM!

"Witch!" They called her.
They tied her to a wooden pole.
She looked deep into my eyes,
As if to say,
"This is how things are meant to be."
They set the pole on fire.
I saw the tears run down her face,
And I watched, in horror, as she burned.
"Once again, Salem has cleansed itself of evil,"
I heard a man say.
Her screams still haunt me.
But I know she gave up her life,
To save mine.
