Her steps echoed around the castle as she left him standing in his regret

"Maybe it's not too late, maybe she's waiting" He thought.

Hope rising inside of him, he took a step forward but stopped, How foolish he was.

She didn't love him, no one would ever love him.

He killed the hope he had and replaced it with what he thought was the truth. The denial.
It was the queen, she was commanded. "Oh,I was tricked, By her sweet smile and melodic laugh and by her poisonous kiss."

He twirled the chipped cup in his hands, he smiled bitterly as he remember himself saying.

"Its just a cup."

Who knew in the end it would be his everything. Everything he has left of her.

After all this time he shook his head, for who can ever love a beast.
