Unshakeable

why can’t i shake myself away from the starlit witch?
what could i do to break this spell?
kiss delirium full on the lips & gaze
into the jeweled eyes of the moon
before insecurity eats my tongue
my brain turned into apple jam

what could she do to break the spell?
tear my paper bones to confetti
blare a conch shell into my ear
with razors of hate under her fingernails

but insecurity comes in like a wraith
& howls out all sense & stone

a silver owl for a shield is no good
against a broom wielded
by a marked obsession
but what could i do to break this spell?
what could i do to shake myself away?
