Taking April

The land of my father's explored in sections
A finger of blame points in wrong directions
Despite the concerns of who's to blame
A little girl lost and alone all the same

Taking a soul, horrific abduction
All that you knew, lost in a second

A beast took Beauty, still he won't tell
Kept like kings in sublime cells
Redeems his rights, without a care
She's frightened and alone somewhere
