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.
