Unnamed 2

A deafening silence. 
And then it began
Incessant ticking of the clock
An unceasing motion
Pain shooting up her head
Like a bloodrush
Or needles pricking the smooth skin.

Then came the thunder,
The sound vibrating through her body
Rattling the bones
Aching the muscles

Then came the screams,
Her pleads, Her cries,
Begging to be released
From the shackles of the man 
The man who was to love her

Was he the actual beast?
No, he was to be worshiped.  
But then why did he trap her in the glass jar?
Beast had learnt to love,
He learned to care.
He learned to protect.
She couldn’t recognize the person before her,
He was supposed to be her prince.
She was the beauty, 
The trophy wife that flashes everyone a sweet smile,
She was taught to sew and cook
Not wield a sword.
Yet that didn’t stop her.

She had been betrayed by the prince, 
She had been manipulated into doing his bidding 
She had been mocked and laughed at,
Never again. 
The delicate hands were now littered with scars
Her eyes ever so warm became emotionless
The shield built up again
Yet he managed to break them down
The so-called beast proclaimed by the devil?
Became her salvation
Her one true love
Her mate.
