Recurring (Alternate)
The dreams
Stuck around for weeks
Every night
The same
Accused of witchcraft
Stand trial
Found guilty by my peers
Locked up, for a time
Will you repent?
I'm not guilty
Taken to a field
The funeral pyre is prepared
Tied to the stake
I'm soon alight
My screams echo
Until I'm no more
Stuck around for weeks
Every night
The same
Accused of witchcraft
Stand trial
Found guilty by my peers
Locked up, for a time
Will you repent?
I'm not guilty
Taken to a field
The funeral pyre is prepared
Tied to the stake
I'm soon alight
My screams echo
Until I'm no more

Greetings poet. I hope your dreams are better. You look like a kind witch to me.

Hi! Thanks. This and the other "Recurring" are both based on dreams that I had as a teenager for weeks at a time. Past life maybe? They are better now, generally, yes
