Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the beast
Both have possession of me
Beast won't let me go
Beauty tries for mastery
In your eyes is the real me...

I do not see any beast, you must have yourself confused with someone else

Auntie, I'm just not this clever, are you deliberately trying to further my confusion? lol. Though I think it depends who is looking into your eyes and those you may be looking into. Take care, Regard Richard

Hmmmmmm, you definitely are a sage, Richard. It does depend on a lot of things, doesn't it. However, truth be told, we all have this dichotomy in our characters, I believe. Oh well...here's hoping beauty has the better share in you. ;)
