Villains: A Villanelle
Two villains, one masterpiece?
We crafted masterpieces from hearts we slayed
Loved like cruelty was a work of art
Villains aren’t born; they’re made
I hunted flaws, sharpened my blade
Cut first so you had no strength to dart
We crafted masterpieces from hearts we slayed
You hid your feelings behind a barricade
Built walls I schemed to smash apart
Villains aren’t born; they’re made
We ripped at each other slowly, unafraid
Withholding warmth, withholding heart
We crafted masterpieces from hearts we slayed
We weaponized every past mistake
Too proud to bend, too stubborn to restart
Villains aren’t born; they’re made
Now we are dust, ruins of the war we waged
Both of us complicit in what broke apart
We crafted masterpieces from hearts we slayed
Villains aren’t born; they’re made

Finally realizing I need to start acting like the main character in my own life. Writing helps me figure out where I keep losing the plot and giving away my spotlight. My story is a big mix of drama, comedy, tragedy, thriller, and, horror.
