beast

[honeymonster]

he feels her absence weighing on his heart.
only a few days, she swore.. but
it has been a few days, and more.
sometimes he wishes they had never met.
for before, the castle never felt this empty..
this untouched by sunlight.
perhaps, he thinks, it is better
to die a beast, with the memory of her laughter,
than to risk the uncertain future of a man.
he will wait in the garden.
