A Dying Beast's Roses — Description
:] well it felt nice to redo this picture.

Old version: [link] (drawn a year and a month or so ago)

The beast is dying. Belle had one week to come back, and she hasn't returned. Has she left him? He cant bear the pain, his heart is breaking. He lies down among his roses as the rain falls down. Nothing is worse than the pain of losing a loved one.

I love the story of Beauty and the Beast. East of the sun and West of the moon, Cupid and Psyche, and all the others that have influenced this story also top my favorites. It feels good to illustrate it because a lot of my characters have something about this fairytale in it.

Even though it hurts, and it feels like the world will never stop falling down around, love will always find a way. In the end, everyone is loved by someone, be it family, friends, a lover, or a stranger who cant help but love what you've done for them. Everyone has their roses.

And in my twisted face
There's not the slightest trace
Of anything that even hints of kindness
And from my tortured shape
No comfort, no escape
I see, but deep within is utter blindness
Hopeless
As my dream dies
As the time flies
Love a lost illusion
Helpless
Unforgiven
Cold and driven
To this sad conclusion
No beauty could move me
No goodness improve me
No power on earth, if I can't love her
No passion could reach me
No lesson could teach me
How I could have love her and made her love me too
If I can't love her, then who?
Long ago I should have seen
All the things I could have been
Careless and unthinking, I moved onward
No pain could be deeper
No life could be cheaper
No point anymore, if I can't love her
No spirit could win me
No hope left within me
Hope I could have loved her and that she'd set me free
But it's not to be
If I can't love her
Let the world be done with me.
