He looked up at her at the end of the winding staircase

Poised in her glory the dangling earrings firm at their base

She looked at him he looked at her

The talks lingered emotions did stir

Sweet talks they did and stared on and on

Just like that they didn't know the time that had gone

Something sparked what was the matter

They believed they could walk through life together

towards each other a step they took

Hoping to be closer as they should

But the bewitched staircase each step took them further away

He and her both had been held in the magic's sway

She grew beautiful just when he thought it wasn't possible

He wasn't so lucky , his charm faded slowly his sweet tongue became babble

Each step they took the staircase widened and he changed before her eyes

Neither the inner beauty nor the grandeur nor his beautiful ties

Before long when the staircase stopped widening and didn't binge

He had become a sight anyone who saw him would cringe

A monster was he flaring fire and grunts

The sound was defeaning the sound of his rants

Would she run from the monster that she could see

Or be with the man with whom her heart wanted to be

The winding staircase had played his turn

She grew beautiful but he got the burn

But there were those eyes the beautiful ones looking at his miss

She reached up to him lifted her heels and silently gave him a kiss

Tears in the his / the monsters eyes it wouldn't

ever be dry

Was that a lovers kiss or her kiss goodbye
