Monster Girl

Who is this creature
who cares not what people think
and makes grown men cry?
The legend goes that
once upon a time she wore
her heart on her sleeve.
She believed that love
would lift the curse that turned men
into selfish cads.
Noble sacrifice
she would offer herself up
to this worthy cause.
How was she to know
that when the spell backfired it
would leave her changed?
Now I hear she has
poor chumps for supper and leaves
the rest to go stale.
