Beauty With A Beastly Side

Your smile sparkles like the lightning on a thunderstorm,

Your eyes glowing like the pearls on the oceans floor,

Luring me to approach the storm,

Only to drown on the depths of the oceans floor.

The things that scare you the most,

Are not the ones that kills you slow,

It is the ones you love,

That shall drag your soul to long.

Being left alone was a nightmare that I didn’t want to bear,

But now I am learning to enjoy the silence of my barren lair.

I am not sure whether to stop my journey with a frightened stare,

Or to face the terrors that may lie ahead.

Someone’s joke was a burden for me to bear,

And The ones who laughed were close to my lair.

Her words were like musical choir,

But soon I realized it was similar to a sirens snare.

I failed not because I was lame,

only because my sight was stained,

Her words still echoes in my brain,

Only to haunt me till my soul gets reaped.

There is no one except me to be blamed,

Because I didn’t see the traps laid for me to trip and fail,

I fell for it not because I was weak,

I went along because I didn’t see the snake under the veil.
