The Beauty Within (Part II)

by Romancing the Darker Side   Mar 18, 2007


"You must rescue your love"
The sullen voice calls
"By taking back Misery
And being unbound by four walls"

It leads her to the forest
Intorduces itself as "Spite"
Hope begins to doubt herself
But still pulls her jaw tight

The task is laid out
Now it's Hope's job the find
A young girl named Misery
Before she's out of time

Set with only a flashlight
And told she must flee
Words of encouragement
Only make her more lonely

Hope calls to the girl
"Misery, where are you?"
Her eyes scan the forest
So stunning and blue

A whimper is heard
A cry is now sound
Hope walks a young girl
She thinks Misery is found

This is not Misery
But her sister, named Lone
The flashlight runs out
For there is no more to be shown

Lone tells Hope there is something
She could do to help
She knows of a special code
Consisting of a yelp

Lone utters the code
And hopes for a reply
If she didn't hear something back
There would be nothing to deny

But a second call was heard
Same as the first one
It came from near the river
It seemed like a shining sun

Hope rushed to the river
With Lone at her side
Misery was on the other bank
Access was once more denied

There was no way they could swim
Nor just jump accross
The water was freezing
And the rocks forming frost

Lone called to her sister
Who simply jumped in
She gave up too early
Commited the ultimate sin

With Misery gone
Yet Lone still alive
She hoped it would be good offering
For her love to survive

They walked back through the forest
Completely unarmed
When Lone stumbled and fell
Hope became alarmed

She ran back to the cloaked figure
And told her the story
The figure, however,
Could never be sorry

"Your love is to die
Without Misery
I suggest you get her body
To bring back to me..."
