Beast's Beauty
The Beauty and the Beast
She:
Once upon a time life was grey
I knew not a Song
or a reason for laughter
My tale would not end with a happily ever after
-
Watching and waiting
Locked away
-
Once upon a time my chains would say
forever alone
Bound to this hollow home
No one to call my own
-
Up in a tower,
No concept of an hour
-
Once upon a time I would pray
For beauty
For time
For mine
-
But no rhyme
Could bring me mine
-
Once upon a time I wished for the day
When the sun
the moon
And angels would whisk me away
He:
Danger, not so far behind
I race to reach the nearest shelter
I must flees these retched beasts
And hide to find my peace
She:
Once upon a time I heard you say
No shelter
No safety
Yes, danger that way
-
A place to be
Slumber was your need
-
Once upon a time I let you prey
For energy
For speed
I'll give you all you need
Eat. Eat.
-
Once upon a time you chased away
My futile fears
My invisible scars
The lies that kept me so far
-
What way you must have been
To have seen my beauty within
He:
A fortunate man I am
To come across such a crippled lamb
In need of the love I bleed
Take some, take all you need
This lovely creature of the night
Has seen never her eyes in the light
Hidden to the world below
I must teach her all that I know
For the only beast I see
Is the one who won't let her be
Who hid her in this retched tower
To hide her from all within an hour
Love struck
By nothing but luck
I will give her all, including me
She:
Once upon a time I wrote a rhyme
When life was grey
And all I could say, and pray
Each day
Was that you would one day whisk me away
He:
The fairest you see
You are mine indeed
Not a beast
But a beauty
Forever we will be
She:
Once upon a time I fell in love
With you
And me
Forever we shall be
The angels truly watch over me
