You love it too much to let go

The beauty of your life that I took away.

The light at the end of the tunnel I made

You love it too much to jump off.


So I am your villain, eh?

The personification of the evils you fight.

Single-layered

I am your villain?


Then I accept, yes I will be evil

Just for you.

I will break you

languish in your screams

And drink your rage.

I am your villain.


Then come to love me,

What I am, and what you need me to be.

Isn't it so pretty? 

That I get to be the one to die?

That I am the one you push,

Even when it is you I saved.


I took away your love,

To bring you a world you need.

The monster to fight

The evil that breeds.


I am your villain, and you need me

There is no hero without a bit of villainy.
