"WOE OF THE WITCH"

This poem revolves around Jason of the Argonauts and the witch Medea. To prove her love for Jason, Medea ensured his ability of obtaining the Golden Fleece--including betraying her father and murdering her brother. However, for all that she did for him,

Everything he wanted, I gave it all to him
At his request, I would give my soul to him
To show my love, to prove there was no other
I betrayed my father and killed my brother
Now I am alone to reap what I've sown
Marooned, exiled--I cannot return home
I gave him two sons, but what does he want?
A throne and prestige for himself to flaunt
I shall now do to him what he's done to me
Curse his conscience so he'll never be free.

Excellent write a total pleasure to read.

So poignant, foreboding and concise - like the dimensions of unrequited love.
