Pet Shop Of Horrors Fan Fiction ❯ Love's Sorrow ❯ Chapter 1

I hide the hope that I hold dear,
Living as though there is naught to fear.
Shadowed thoughts that cloud the eye,
Beyond any hope, are these tears I cry.
They drip down my face, dampen my hair,
Behind the masks that I must wear,
To hide the love I’ve kept inside,
For the man whom I sit beside.
There is never another I can blame,
I see his face, we play our games.
Rough and tumble, and laughter abounds,
We read a book, while silence surrounds.
Not-so-pure maiden and man-eating fiend,
What sort of madness has fate deigned to deem?
He can never know the light that he’s set free,
Beauty and the Beast has nothing on me.
This is the grief that dogs my step,
That I’ve never told him is my only regret,
