You weren’t supposed to be my villain

Did you set out to be the villain in my life

Or was it accidental?

Did I look like I needed to be broken?

Was I too confident or vain?

Was it easy to turn my world upside down?

Was it easy to walk away, to choose another over me?

Did you feel like the villain

or did you make believe it was me who was the evil?

I didn’t choose another over you

I didn’t walk away.

I wasn’t your villain, but clearly you were mine.

My hurt turned to hate

You made my feelings turn evil

I cried over you

I lost sleep over you

You weren’t supposed to be the villain in my story...

You were supposed to be my family!
