Curse

"She's a beauty," they said,

"She mine." growled the ones who led.

Cherry red lips,

white as moon hips.

Dark chocolate eyes,

hypnotizing even the best spies.

Voice as sweet as honey,

with all the innocence of

a bunny.

An open book they see,

But the last few pages

are under lock and key.

They hold her secrets,

her shadowy depths.

They show her dark side,

the one she desperately hides.

Her shriveled heart,

her bloody fangs.

Her sharpest knives,

her deadly poisons.

True love's kiss will

break her curse,

But her true love is

her simple nurse.

With no means to save,

and no heart to care,

is the princess destined

to forever be the same?
