Twas Beauty that Killed the Beast
Skyler Latshaw
My love for you is like King Kong,
Big, huge,
Strong.
My love for you is like King Kong,
Sweeping you off your feet
And breaking the jaws of rival T-Rexes buying for your affecti-ong.
My love for you is like King Kong,
Chained, broken, captured by your beauty,
Shown off in a New York City theatre where it breaks loose,
Plows through the wall and terrorizes the city,
Grabbing you and climbing the Empire State Building
And swatting at the planes that try to keep us apart
Until I fall to the cold hard street
And die with you in my arms, in my heart.
My love for you is like King Kong.
