LIGHT TALE

Have you ever had a tale to tell

And you didn't know where to start

Is there ever a way to explain

The deceitfulness of a heart

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Was the evidence there somewhere

Was he always cruel within

Did we only see the blinding light

Reflected when she was with him

Love’s not supposed to tear you up

Make you feel like you’d rather die

He was brutal with his wicked words

Damning with his eyes

He wouldn't be an honest man 

He couldn't let her shine

A cloak of darkness in disguise

Extinguishing her With time

~~*~~

The introduction to the story is

Our sweet Princess’s life

Falling in love and becoming

This charlatans new wife

Oh…he acted like Prince Charming

In the beginning of the book

But as our Princess began to fade

We all took a closer look

 ~~~*Chorus*~~~

Was the evidence there somewhere

Was he always cruel within

Did we only see the blinding light

Reflected when she was with him

Love’s not supposed to tear you up

Make you feel like you’d rather die

He was brutal with his wicked words

Damning with his eyes

He wouldn't be an honest man 

He couldn't let her shine

A cloak of darkness in disguise

Extinguishing her 

With time

~~*~~

I may have to start the tale again

Include the Cardinal sins

I wonder if the scholar knows

That five of them apply to him

His ugliness is showing through

The illusion he’s portrayed

The moral of the story is

Not everyone’s been swayed

He had better know deep in his soul

It is time to make amends

If that light doesn't shine like it once did

We will be coming after him…….
