Medusa's Untimely Fate


She stays to herself,

locked away

One step outside the house, 

dead you’ll lay

 

A humbled young women 

Graced the world with her presence 

A breath of fresh air 

her two sisters,

Both a beastly menace

 

Overtaken by love 

Had the world in her hands 

Little did she know 

Her man had other plans  

 

His real true love

The one she turned to for comfort 

The one with red in her eyes 

Who cursed a face with so much potential 

 

Now as hideous as her two sisters

She stays to herself,

locked away

One step outside the house, 

dead you’ll lay
