Sad, sad girl
When will you smile?
Sad, sad girl
When will you laugh?
Sad, sad girl
Does your cheek not crinkle?
Do your lips not widen?
Do your eyes not wrinkle?
Sad, sad girl
Are you not tired?
Are you not done?
Is it not enough?
Sad, sad girl
Do you not miss being happy?
Is your heart not tired?
Is your mind not uneasy?
Sad, sad girl
Is he worth it?
"Yes"
Are you sure?
"Yes"
Okay then
Sad, sad girl
I hope you'll be fine
I hope you'll smile
I hope you'll laugh
Sad, sad girl
Chin up
Wipe your tears
Pretend to be fine
No one will know the difference
And maybe one day you'll believe it too
And you'll be fine

To love
the present
from the past

To love
the future
with the present

To love
the future
besides the past

To love
the past
without a future

It’s possible to love someone
beyond their demons. The devil
was an angel and all that. It’s
possible to stay inside and still
be free men. Please just put
down the monster-- that’s
not your hat.

Light was drained as darkness grew
Revealing each shining star
Each used to map out the future

The moon gives a subtle glow
Providing comfort while we lay awake
For it’s such a pleasure to bask in its glory

You could stare at the sky everyday
and still you would not see everything it has to offer

The Beast:

She stands
Looking down, she curses the world
How could they do this to her
After everything, everything she has done for them

A scream rises from her throat
It is blood-curling, filled with hatred
Hatred for the world
The people in it

She can no longer see
Her vision is tinged with red
Shapes become meaningless
People become nothing to her

She can feel the Beast within her
It wants out
It wants to make them pay
It wants to cause pain and destruction

She is on her knees now
Panting trying to keep the Beast in
But it is to strong and she is too weak
It enters the world and the girl is no more

The Beast wants blood, pain and chaos
It has no reasoning
The girl's essence is buried deep
What remains is only the beast

It makes ready to destroy
But it can't
There is a boy in its way
A boy the girl knew

The boy stands in its way
A boy who will not let the Beast get what it wants
His piercing green eyes never leaving
Nor his body

The Beast leaps at the boy
But he is ready
His strong arms hold the Beast close to him
He holds it tightly and whispers to it

There is a calming sensation that washes over the Beast
The anger fades
Soon followed by the Beast

She collapses in his arms, to weak to stand
The sobs come in waves as her small frame shakes
Only his presence can calm the Beast
Only he is able to tame it
