Lonely Man


He asked for a ring

He asked for a necklace

Reaching for the child had been truly reckless

 

He spun the straw into gold

He wove an intricate goal 

Only to witness his mischevious plans unfold

 

He wanted a living child

He wanted a reason to smile

Rumpelstiltskin ended himself in a pile
