Beast. He preys on me and my youthful innocence, ready to pounce Maim Tear me from piece to piece until I am a mere shadow of my former self Until what is becomes what was. Faded. Dust. Supping at my blood with lust I guess I just couldn't trust this ugly-faced beauty Who saw right through me Saw through the woman and sought out the vulnerable victim The meek little girl Ruined what could have been her world Trashed it Smashed it And then bashed her He crashed her hopes and dreams Ripped her apart right from the seams Until she, too, became ugly. The beauty became the beast.
