~The Beast~

It is i of whom you dream when you gaze out your window into the starlit night.
Desperately searching the skies, ever longing my cold touch.

In your dreams you say...

Come to me my sweet.
I cost nothing.
My love is free.

You offer your neck,
You say, "Forever live with me."

I your lord
You my lady.

Together more fearsome than any horror in Hades.

So come my lady, take my hand.
Let me spin my spell, fill your eyes with sand.

For it is in your dreams that i can fly.

Where i come to you.
Kiss you.
Make you sigh.

Do not fret when morning comes and you find that your Dark Prince has gone.

I will return tomorrow night, but always be gone by dawn.

So my lamb as the sun rises to the East,
Kiss me now,
Say farewell to your beast.

I am forever grateful for your bountiful feast.
