The Monster And The Lady Poem by Braden Patton

For the man was a monster and the lady was crazy,
But somehow they found love in each other’s company.
They shared each other’s poison like they shared each kiss,
A miracle, they were content with this ignorant bliss.

But each story has an end, for this is true,
The lady loved the monster and he loved her, too,
But their conflicts soon broke them like a branch from a tree,
A monster for a lady is not good company.

And then she finally shattered from the monster's provoking,
She was left by him, scorched and smoking.
He ran from her, being the monster that he was,
Destroying his love like a monster always does.

His heart ached to be away from his lady,
If the monster had a heart it would have been breaking.
The difference between a man and a monster is the ability to change,
And this monster did not believe in that sort of thing,
But his lady called for another man,
To shield her from the monster’s heartbreak plan.


The monster, fallen out of her arms,
Lost his mind and searched for a charm.
Some magic or curse to rekindle his love again,
But he found the secret lies with the men,
Who hold the cure to a broken heart,
Something a monster is made to rip apart.

The monster, desperate to be in the embrace of his beloved,
Escaped from his dark, hollow chest and fled.
Leaving behind his destructive ways
To win back the gift of her beautiful gaze.

Atop her tower he found her,
Alone and crying; her sadness nearly drowned her.
But the monster, with a different soul than he once held,
Came to her rescue, for he felt compelled;
He was the one who caused her pain,
And he was the one who deserved to be slain.

But in the lady’s good heart she found the grace,
To give her monster a chance to change face;
To make up for all of his lies;
To save himself from his demise.

Again they were one like the sea and the shore,
They were free to live and once again soar,
On the wings of his lady he was whole,
With his new heart and his mended soul.
