if life was a fairy tale

if life was a fairy tale,
you'd be the beauty, i'd be the beast

i'd be the poison apple that made you sleep,
the tower that locked away the peace,
the knife meant for your heart,

the slipper that shattered,
the step sisters who thought they mattered,

i'd be the thorns blocking out fate,
the evil queen that recieved the hate,

i'd be the evil wolf that blew down your house,
the cat who chased the mouse,

i'd be the witch who danced in hot iron,
the queen who got hit by lightning,
the one steeling your future,

and if we were just a story,
i'd be the evil, forgotten by the reader
