Beauty Like a Flower

Beauty like a flower
Though fluorescent in the light
Crawls away in darkness
From insecurity and fright
Forgiving and forgetting
An angel shining above
Beauty like a flower
Is love

Beauty like a siren 
Draws the sailors in
Pulls them deep underwater
And covers them with sin
Beautiful yet tragic
A melancholy fate
Beauty like a siren
Is hate
