Beauty's Beast
Too graceful for I, better I shouldn’t,
Knowin’ my sickened self deserves far less,
That even were I far better she couldn’t,
Ever forgive this monstrosity’s mess.
Knowin’ my sickened self deserves far less,
A beast compared her beauty I’d feel to
Ever forgive this monstrosity’s mess -
Unconquered disease from my words untrue.
A beast compared her beauty I’d feel to
Near sparkle-light glow borne her perfection;
Unconquered disease from my words untrue
Torture pure love with infected inflection.
Near sparkle-light glow borne her perfection
That even were I far better she couldn't;
Torture pure love with infected inflection?
Too graceful for I, better I shouldn’t.
