I've hexed you so you'll get this wrong,
But you still cannot resist,
E-Y-R-I-E, that is correct,
Even as I tie your feet and wrists.
You're amazed when I'm around,
Destroy kid's dreams in D.C.,
I was there with your first crush,
10 letters in life you should keep.
Hint:
Google not required and
one line almost qualifies as a red herring, not anymore. The title could be helpful but is a personal thought I will be happy to share later - if someone doesn't read my mind first!
Hint 2:
Google not required. But if you're not from the United States you might not know about my connection to D.C., but you know of this clue.

just makes something that has the height of the characters in the box, but no width - normally it's used for lining up math expressions, but it can also work to get around the title limit. $\endgroup$
