The Theatrics Of A Villain

**_(This is a weird one. I got a bit carried away with it so it’s quite long. Hope you enjoy!)_**


The sun had long since dipped below the horizon, casting a bloody orange glow over the battle-scarred landscape. All beings fought, bodies and blood littering the soil. Amidst the chaos, a lone figure emerged. That’s me. I’m that kind of villain whose name is whispered from city to city, kingdom to k...

Crossed A Little Too Far

“Did I cross the line….?”


“YEAH NO SHIT SHERLOCK WE CROSSED OVER TO ANOTHER UNIVERSE!” Jackson yells as Scarlett look over at people a few years older then them.


Tess goes for her gun and Mattheo puts his hands up.


“Put your hands bloody down!” Sam slaps his hands down.


Scarlett picks up the button that summoned the portal and goes to press it. Tess shoots it, making it spark and break.


“Hey ...

Everything and Nothing

I’ve let it go too far

How do I turn back

When I was a star

Life was on track


Took it for granted

Felt quite invincible

My aura enchanted

Now rather invisible


Stringing two hopes

Together with pain

This is how one copes

With constant strain


Remaining busy doing

Everything and nothing

Disdain still brewing

Longing for something


Reluctantly pressing on

Fuelled by pigheadedness

Losing like I alre...

the lines we cross

I put my hand in yours last night

As we sat on the hood of your car

And I wonder, was it just me

or did you feel a spark?

As you reversed, and tried to park

You hand came up behind my seat

And I remember your scent,

A mix of cinnamon and pine,

Something so soothing and woodsy.

Did I cross a line last night?

Maybe in my mind

Because in my wildest fantasies

You’ve fallen in love with me too.

Today ...

Willing to Die

Did I…

Cross the line?


Her head in one hand

Knife in the other

Tears staining my face

Blood covering my hands


What had I done?

What’s wrong with me?


I don’t deserve to live

After killing my best friend

After something

That wasn’t her fault


I dug the knife into my heart

Willing

To

Die

For her...

Did I Cross the Line?

Note: I got some ideas from a song I got stuck in my head earlier: Good Things Fall Apart by ILLENIUM & Jon Bellion. It’s a good, catchy, but sad song if anyone wants a somewhat sad ear worm lol.




Did I cross the line?

When I told you I liked you


Did I cross the line?

Every time I said I love you


Did I cross the line?

All I wanted was to hug you


But no one ever knew

Crossed

Did I cross a line when I cupped your face?

Relishing in the smooth skin, mapping out the moles like landmarks

I’ll revisit

Over and over again


My lips travel to your neck, down to your broad shoulders

Did I cross a line when I drowned in your eyes?

Confessing with my heart-shaped pupils that I’d let you become my downfall

Ruin me


Did I cross a line when I left small pieces of my soul with you?

...

Did I Cross The Line

Did I cross the line? Yes, I did cross the line. I wanted to get to the other side more quickly. Why do I have to take two steps backwards, to take three steps forward?. Why?Wont that leave you at the same spot ? Why can’t we continue, to keep on moving forward? That’s what needs to be.We were once partners, but now we are not. So why dwell on the past.Bad memories.You went too far.You crossed ...

Did I Cross The Line?

She made my life a living hell

So I returned the favor


Although I got my revenge

Still

Deep down

I hate her


I tore her down into little parts

Like she had done to me


We are the lovers with parting hearts

Violent and vengeful

With feelings that flee


Digging through the scraps of her

Who is now a hollow shell


I’ve always seen the worst of her

Now her life is hell


I feel empowered

I feel derang...
