beast within him

We wanted freedom
A life of bliss
A life of laughter and pleasure
So we ran away to save the love

The dark forest our refuge
Surrounded by mist
Under barren trees
Our bare bodies illuminated by the moonlight

This wondrous love
I'd spend eternity in his arms

He reaches over me
A pained look on his face
Whispers of love
A kiss
A silver dagger
Weapon of protection placed in my hands

Paradise was not meant to last forever
We thought we could escape.

A misconception

For tonight the moon will betray
And the beast will be released
