This had been on my mind for a while since listening to Josh Groban's version of Evermore.
Backstory: This is basically what the female Beast would sing about the male Belle.
The song Evermore is Disney's property while the genderbent idea is mine. Also this is dedicated to anyone who wrote a genderbent Beauty and the Beast story.
I was the one who had it all
I was the girl of my fate
I never needed anybody in my life
I learned the truth too late
I'll never shake away the pain
I close my eyes but he's still there
I let him steal into my melancholy heart
It's more than I can bear
Now I know he'll never leave me
Even as he runs away
He will still torment me, calm me, hurt me
Move me, come what may
Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
I'll fool myself he'll walk right in
And be with me for evermore
I rage against the trials of love
I curse the fading of the light
Though he's already flown so
Far beyond my reach
He's never out of sight
Now I know he'll never leave me
Even as he fades from view
He will still inspire me
Be a part of everything I do
Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
I'll fool myself he'll walk right in
And as the long, long nights begin
I'll think of all that might have been
Waiting here for evermore
