Tale As Old As Time

Who can ever learn to love a beast? I want someone to look past what they see.

But I ' m a monster as they all say. Should someone never come, my heart will wither away.

Each petal falls as my hope wears thin. No one will ever see the true person I am within.

A rose more beautiful than all I ' ve ever seen. She tamed the beast inside, and saw in my heart, beauty.
