When he was human he was just ugly on the inside,
Now he's been made monstrous and forced to hide.
He stays in his castle, even as it dies
As stones break, dust accumulates, and it houses flies.
Sometimes people from a local town come up to his home
And he teaches them to be cautious and not to freely roam.
He charges at them bearing fang and swiping with a claw.
And the town's folk run away and tell what they saw.
The monster may be this way forever
Unless he under takes a more romantic endeavor.
He is cold-hearted, and as ugly as can be.
Who is this creature waiting for his beauty?
