Villain

Villain
How did you embrace me in your shadow?
Causing this temper rage
Starting this fire to spread out of control
I was burning all of their bridges; breaking their mold. With the belongings of the riches
that were once owned, so I could call them my own.
I watched them bleed in desperate needs creating their paths in tears
I stole their stones and did I find myself in their falter?
Villain
How do you become faceless? 
 You are faceless in the outskirts of their crowd and hide in your barren field?
They were looking like I had no soul
Distant in their approval of where I once was loved
Villain
How do you dim the pain?
It was shone and cast upon my face
Illuminating my broken heart the pieces scattered where I once remained
Villain
How do you give mercy to your soul?
