(inspired By) Beauty and the Beast

walking though the corridor of the prince's castle, 
it's dark and dim around each corner, 

i heard this prince has a wicked heart, 
and is no longer his former, 

his white-diamond smile turned to sickly sharp fangs, 
his fingers slipped to claws, 

his mouth went slack,
and turned to a massive pair of colossal jaws, 

the castle used to be a place for parties, 
for people to gather in one simple reverie, 

but, how was i to know that, 
you'd come after me, 

you've trapped me in this room, 
although forgetting to lock the door, 

you invite me to--no! demand me to dinner, 
but i just sit on the cold, stone floor

feeling sick and heavy as i try to wrench myself up on the bed, 
i guess i should be thankful that i am not dead. 

time passes; days to weeks, 
it's time to watch the snowfall, 

the snowflakes land on both our cheeks, 
that causes a giggle to slip from my throat, 

my eyes grow wide as i hear it escape, 
because the last i thought I'd want to do is dote,

night soon arrives, 
time to return to the stone walls, 

wolves howl and their music reaches the moon, 
i know i wont be able to sleep, 

not with out you.

(*A.N.: yeah i know it probably doesn't make sense, but bear with me on this..i am HUGE romantic at heart, and i felt like writing this one. ENJOY!)
