His Only Chance
She was his only chance
to rid himself of this curse.
At first it was just a ploy
to get her to say those words.
His one and only chance
to leave his monstrous form behind
and with it this prison he was in.
But she changed him.
He could hear her saying those words,
"I love you"
but they were only in his mind,
not from her heart.
Time went by,
his cold heart melting before her,
but he could not do this.
He freed her from this hell,
his hell.
He felt no pain, no fear,
just hope.
The hope of seeing her again.
The day was dawning
and with it his final hour.
The simple drop of a petal
to signal his end.
Until she came back!
What he didn't know
was that he changed her
as much as she changed him.
Her skies were brighter
and not just the color
of the rotting pages in her books.
They freed each other
from their own hell.
Now they can just be...
Free.
