Saved (pt. 2)

(....Continued from Pt. 1) 
 

Showing his face to humanity

The beast had resumed his angelic cloak

Prying into their embrace with a weapon of guilt

His intent to rule her sanity

The beauty received the strength the savior provided

However weaker now the beast’s grip still held

Stealing away her well earned power

Leaving behind a rage that divided

As the battle raged both sides grew weak

The savior became the beauty’s foundation

She his only salvation

Reaching for the truths they must seek

Inside the savior a sorrow did grow

He felt the pain of the beauty

As she built her defenses with his courage

His strength fading with each blow

Her love for him renewed him strong

Driving him forward in his support

His slain demons battling along side

Knowing the struggle would be long

******

Soon the beast tired of this game

Lashing out only to irritate

Feeling defeated and angry

Finally admitting his shame

Broken and weak the savior and beauty stand

Side by side building each other up

Healing the wounds of the war

Taking a new found love by the hand

They continue down the road that is paved

Forever wary of the ever present beast

The savior learning more each day

It is he that was saved
