Beauty and Beastly


Once upon a time

He was Beauty

While she was Beastly

His heart was pure darkness

While her heart was pure gold

Behind it all remained a story untold

Men would stop to ask

And ask how he became so unfortunate

While envious women glared

And claimed that she tortured him

How else could someone so beautiful

End up with an ugly thing?

Just sit back relax and listen

To a story where you sell your soul...
