Classic Tale Retold

Everyone knows the classic tale

A lovely girl finds the beauty in a beast

But a tale lesser known begets more truth

Not the beauty found in a beast

But the beast hiding beneath the beauty

Perfection flows from her fingertips

Sweet voice lulls you into a vulnerable state

Her eyes ensnare you into her embrace

Blinded by her outward radiance

Unable to see the monster inside

Ache to graze her flawless skin

Selling yourself to her piece by piece

Before you realize her heart is black

She has taken everything from you

This is nothing to her vicious soul

Pleasured by the sight of your suffering

Teasing you with the promise of love

She knows she is incapable but you dont

Think you are trading life for love

Instead you give your life for her laugh

When she tires of you shell throw you back

Where once a proud man stood

A broken, scared lonely boy will lay

She remains unscathed and moves on

Her next victim just around the corner

Knowing hell be as easy as the last

Even though she is a savage beast

Her beauty is a perfect disguise

The saddest part of this tale it seems

No one has a chance to defend

If you know what to do its too late

For you have already felt the wrath of her beauty
