The Beast
She came to his castle,
Uninvited, Unknowing,
What she would find there
For though she had once found him
Handsome, enchanting
He closed himself up
And became someone else'
She knew, there was no kindness,
That no love there could grow,
He answered the door with a snarl
And she knew,
He was spoilt, selfish and unkind
To the bone.
She gave him a rose, in return
for an ear, for a hand, for a kiss,
But he would not listen
And turned her away -
And as he said go away
She revealed her true self to him,
But at this point it was too late.
He wanted her,
But she reminded him of his ways,
And placed the rose in a glass,
Where it would stay 21 years,
Until he could learn to love
With all his heart and soul ,
Or he would remain the beast he was
And had become before....
