The Villain

Angels were witness to

my clandestine stares

Cupids joined hands and

prayed for you to care

With you, my heart

jumped with joy

my smile, full of colours

Even the rainbows enjoyed

I was the lover of your story

a hopeless romantic

with too many hopes

You were the hero of mine

you saved me from falling…

in love with you

I thought you were the one

I kept looking for you

But you told me you did not

have the second pair of my

Cinderella shoes

Somewhere between your honesty

and your attempt to rescue me

you confessed BUT

we were not ready for

what happened next…

Saving me from the fall

you involuntarily fell…

in love with me

But I’m all guarded now

You ask if it’s too late

your eyes full of hope

your sanity eloped

I just sigh with my

head bowed down

My heart says yes

but my mind pulls me

to the ground

Never knew this would be

our happy ending

Where you did save me

from the fall but

ended up becoming

my lover after all

And me? I wish

in your story, I was now

your no one but alas!

Never knew I’d be

the villain.
