I Will Be the Villain


I burned myself alive with silence

Where Fear of Chaos

Built a dam behind my eyes

To hold back Reaction to 

Your beauty

The way you move 


I’m drowning  


Sand castle Beaten by low tide heat

I come apart burned in

Crossfire of drought and fault lines


I will be the villain


The shark biting off Whole

Legs of the swimmer 

Striving toward shore 

Goals unwritten silently 

Assumed telepathy 

but only was a myth


In the nightmare I lost grip

While the ice spun around the North Pole

I will be the villain 

I promise

I am drowning 

In the cold cold deep
