Good news!

Boq didn't feel like celebrating.

She's dead!

He supposed he would have to accept that she was gone.

The Witch of the West is dead!

Boq was indeed thinking about a witch, but not the one from the west.

The wickedest witch there ever was

He knew Nessarose hadn't been completely wicked.

The enemy of all of us here in Oz

He still remembered the bright-eyed girl who had squealed when he asked her to accompany him to the Ozdust Ball.

Is dead!

It didn't help that everyone celebrated the fact that she was dead.

Good news!

All the Munchkins forgot about the sweet, innocent girl she had been.

Good news!

And Boq seemed to be the only one that cared.

No one mourns the wicked!

He still visited the place where the house had landed on her.

No one cries "They won't return!"

Boq wished he had one more chance to talk to her.

No one lays a lily on their grave

As he placed flowers by her grave, he wondered what would have happened if he had told her he was sorry.

The good man scorns the Wicked!

For running away.

Through their lives, our children learn

For leaving her alone.

What we miss, when we misbehave

For misguiding her.

And Goodness knows

For making her into what she was.

The Wicked's lives are lonely

Boq wished he could tell her how he felt.

Because although he thought Galinda was the one for him.

Goodness knows

It was Nessarose.

The Wicked die alone

It had always been her.

It just shows when you're Wicked

And maybe that was why he didn't tell her.

You're left only

But now that she was gone...

On your own

He would never get the chance.

Good news!

At least he could dream.

No one mourns the Wicked!

But maybe if he hadn't waited...

Good news!

She wouldn't have turned out wicked.

No one mourns the Wicked!
Wicked!
Wicked!
