A dark heart
full of pride, and fright
For what has been there
Out to hunt her

A lock was thrown
that could really unlock;
The only key
to her heart

She thought it was lost
Nobody could ever found
For it was with
the beast that left her

Yet there’s this stranger
who dared to come close
Dressed with light
with the sky in his eyes

He was just another beast
Out to feed on her
But he was now inside her heart
with just the simplest gesture

A joy that could ****
He said was his gift
So true it could burn;
she’d burst into flames

Shall she take it
then she would turn
into ashes:
a joyful burn

Gladness for the door
that he opened
For her escape,
She took his gift

It truly burned
But she didn’t burst
She just warmed
into glowing wonder

Such was his gift,
she gave him a kiss
And he asked if she would
be his joyful ever after
