Chosen Villain

I screamed into

the empty dark

But you just watched

the fading spark

You saved the towers,

saved the crown

And let my quiet

harbor drown

I tried to play the victim's part With honest plea and broken

heart But kindness never bought a shield So now the softer choices

yield

If I must burn to make you see

Then call me your worst enemy

(watch me

burn)

You ignored the boy who cried

Now face the dark you built inside

Your heroes

wear a polished smile

While plotting pathways

all the while

I begged for mercy

at your gate

But silence

only teaches hate

If I must burn

to make you see

Then call me your worst enemy

(your worst enemy)

You ignored the boy who cried

Now face the dark you built inside

No more tears to wipe away...

(no

more) I'll be the villain in your play...
