Beauty and the Beast

Beauty of me to the beast in you Your words haunt me I could remember a time of love What I thought could never be undone Then it changed as seasons came and passed The smiles turned to a growl A duty of touch was impelled No say was the game of the beast You took your beauty and shamed her A crime that you laughed upon Your voice became cold as the touch you gave You took my spirit and killed my soul A killer of me as love was drained Cruel like pain insaine I took the sentence the jury was you Completness of insecurity was your win That was the truth in the life of lies Beauty of me the beast in you ....

Intense write Sarah, the thought of how a couple starts off like wow, but then further down the relationship the womens beauty becomes a burden and the man becomes someone else, a deep and wonderful write *LUV ~S.K.A.T.
