Need (Catherine's POV)

May 2013

Notes: The characters from Beauty and the Beast are from the CW. .

Darkness stifles

My soul gasps

How Muirfield trifles

My love it traps

Stare I do

At sky dark

Through orbs blue

Tears my cheeks mark

For me, a crash it is

End of road it may be

To up and down bliss

On Amor's passage cross a troubled sea

A decade has passed

Since he did me save

E'en as Mother did pass

Path to future he did pave

He watched me

Keeping me safe

From threats he did me free

Trouble he did for me abate

Wrapped up as I was

Nothing I knew of this

My life to my cause

My duty, my bliss

Then Vincent return'd

One dark night

My heart he stirred

From uncertain embers bright

Learned to him trust

A bond formed twixt us did

The man o'er beast crust'd

The woman whose heart hid

Never easy

Our shared life is

But when jostled by Hate's breezes

Much comes from Bliss

Those around us

Most don't approve

Some have learn'd trust

For our love true

Grown we both have

A normal life we dreamt

A life in Normalcy wrapp'd

From Danger we'd be exempt

I learned of late

To accept Vincent as is

To let Fear in heart abate

As our lips seek common bliss

He came here

To this fortress of stone

To save his companion dear

From schemes of turncoat foe

Came he did

In Fury's storm

Ne 'er from enemy he hid

As he faced Mirror's form

Defeated the dark reflection

Saving me

He did with satisfaction

My heart again he freed

But Muirfield

That cowardly slime

That ne'er him allows heal

From effects of past crime

Their copter us shock'd

Bullets echo'd off stones

Surface they pocked

Rattling our bones

The reflection they shot

Sending him after his love

Gabe in trap was caught

Death below did him shove

Snagged Vincent they did

In heavy net

Like a fly in glass under lid

Their prize they did get

Ran to his side

I did without delay

From Love I'd no longer hide

Her words I did say

Tried to save him

Give up? No way.

Even with opposition grim

Denied I Defeat's shame

I seized his hand

He grabbed mine

Through prison's bands

Hoping for Fortune Kind

Alas Muirfield stronger proved

Copter pulled him from me

Disappearing behind the Moon

Behind they left me

Fight I do my heart

The iciness inside

Shrug off Defeat's dart

From Duty I will not hide

I will find that jail

Wherever Muirfield's gone

Brave for him whatever Hell

Until the deed is done

Save my Vincent

As he has me

Such is the thing decent

As Love does decree

On the stars I swear

Stop I ne' er will

No more marker accept I from Defeat

From them you I will tear

And we our hearts do refill

And ourselves do complete…..
