The Beast

In a cabin, in the woods
lived an immortal girl,her heart was very good.
She had a sister, who lived close by-in the forest.
They say that she, was born without a conscience.

The girl in the cabin, pitied her poor sister
and when she stumbled upon a heart of honesty, she sent her this mister.
The mister, his heart was oh so true,
but no one could ever see the scars in there, unless he allowed them to.

This mister, he was sweet and mild on the surface
but inside of him, lived a beast without a purpose.
This beast was settled, cozy in his chest
and no one knew he lived there, which is how he liked it best.

He went to wed the sister in the forest, but after some time he tired
of constantly catering, to all of her desires.
He thought of the sister in the cabin, her alabaster skin and hair like spun gold.
She was a beauty, his beast would love to hold.

All this time, in the presence of his wife,
he had calmed the wild creature, kept him quiet at night.
His thoughts started to drift, his mind churned fantasies
and he was letting the beast, run amuck in his dreams.

It wasn't very long, till the beast started to get demanding.
The sister in the cabin, he wondered, What was she wearing?.
Could he just get a peak. The mister knew it was a bad idea, however, he too was weak.

He started sneaking over.
Often gave her sweet words and called her his lover
the beast however, could not be pacified
and when she pulled away from him, he violently raged inside

The beast, he was then set free  
Please, said the girl, just dont hurt me.
Now the beast, he was still a man, but he was very cruel.
He only let the girl out of the cabin
When they went to hunt for food.
He said the first time we met, you shouldn't of passed me over.
To give me to a woman so cold, i couldnt even hold her.

I am so tired of waiting, for what should belong to me.
I want to keep you both and i dont care if you agree.
The beast, who reigned within his chest
slept very cozy, and could finally get some rest.

He had the best of both worlds- he could be beast, he could be man.
Then the girl in the cabin, she ran and ran and ran
Finally she collapsed in a heap.
Enraged, he said, tell me of this matter, of which you weep.

Because... by you, i am loved the least.
And this was the reply, of the vicious beast.
He said, i need a woman to challenge me and my way.
For in every deed, every action, you always obey.
Yes, she cried out, everything you've ever told me to!  
He replied, exactly. and that is why the man in me- will love only her, but the beast he loves you.
