There was a man, so handsome and devine
He swooned her with candlelight and fine wine
He seemed the perfect image of a man
She never saw the animal within
Promises of love and marriage
Saying his heart was true
Left her nearly blinded
Passion and desire grew
She was small and frail
True and innocent
His smile revealed fangs
Which were iridescent
Out to destroy this woman
A wolf in man’s clothing
Eager to tear her flesh
Full of hatred and loathing
OH, He will take her as his bride
She will marry into his hell
Held in a castle far from society
With no one whom she can tell
She will perform tasks for his liking
Causing her anguish and searing pain
She will wish for death ten fold over
Only to awake in his restraints
So eager to please and to be loved
She allowed the wolf to come in
Destroying her life until her death
Being mortal her only sin
