In the shadows he smiles,
He looks at their shiny smiles,
He feels content,
What more could he ask for?
He gave it all for them,
Gave up on it for them,
He’s a forever villain,
To love,
To hold,
Has never been his portion,
He’s the shadow,
He lurks in the night with the wolves,

They’d be all too happy,
A path to happiness reopened,
A path to freedom,
The highway to their dreams,
That’s what they saw in him,
He walks in the dark,
Laughing at them,
Knowing fully well,
He was aware of it all,
He still awaits on the event invites,
He still wants to give them one last push,
Not to let them know,
To let them see,
How it feels to be loved,
He’s just but a weirdo,
They took pity on him,
Played him,
He played them big time,
Now they all happy,

He caged the demons inside him,
He played stupid,
He let them be,
He held it all in,
From the inside it ate him,
He smiled at them,
Laughed with them,
They couldn’t even feel his absence,
The void in him,
The empty vase he had become,
He would not show it,
As painful as it was,
He swallowed it all,
He would have loved to,
He dearly wanted to,
Yet here he was,
Leaving on his own,
They thought he was joking,
They thought he was all but bluff,
They would be shocked,

They are stuck together,
How she holds his hands subconsciously,
How he protects her involuntarily,
The basic natural chemistry they have,
How she doesn’t admonish him,
How he treats him like air,
The intimate little actions,
The little things,
They thought he never saw them,
He played blind,
He played deaf,

How could he not fathom,
How could he not see it coming,
Yes, she lost it,
Not to him,
She consummated it,
Not with him,
How could he not understand,
She’s is who she is,
He understands,
He plays the fool,
Feigns ignorance,
Lets it go,
He’s still,
Aware,
Observant,
It never escaped his eyes,
They could deny it,
He still lets it slide,

He may be crazy,
Insane,
Weird,
And a combo of hell on earth,
The angel and the demon,
He is a villain,
He accepts that,
It’s as easy as it sounds,
They have never thought it in his perspective,
They do not know his bottom line,
She asked, ‘what belongs to you?’
She said they were sanctified,
Not for him in forever,
Let alone the after life,
That he is the biggest bully,

She’s grown wings,
She spreads them,
She forgot where it all started,
She still forgets how it feels,
She doesn’t wanna relive that,
She still strings him along,
He could feel the spark between them,
He could almost touch it,
He had seen it,
Experienced it,
He needed not to hear of it,
Playing the fool,
Being played the fool,
Funny how it sounds,

In the beginning,
The treats,
Now it’s all tricks,
May be it was his imagination,
His hearing is fading out,
She said, ‘i was scared, i was afraid’,
He was lost for a second,
Standing on the pedestal,
To trust?
To love?
To leave?
It was not consummate,
She was afraid of it,
He still doesn’t wanna fill in the it,
He feels a little cheated,
He was all but respectful,
He stuck to the lanes,
He played by the rules,

May be they ‘love him’,
May be they pity him,
Thus the charade,
To sanctified,
To insanity,
Have you seen how they smile?
How they create the rift?
How he feels all left out?
It weird,
He still stands for it,
He is stuck,
Wishing,
Wanting,
Reminiscing,

Eyes openers are too random,
When minds stray and hearts stop beating,
The little line between imagination and overthinking,
It’s neither both nor any of the above,
Insecure? That’s too fickle?
Worried? It’s on another level,
When all you got is you and yourself,
What a pity!
In the dark the wind blows,
In the shadows, well hidden,
He stands at a distance,
He looks at it in a different perspective,
To have,
To hold,

I am villain,
I walked in dark,
It’s ever crazy,
I smile at how you led me on,
You stringed me along,
It was all hazy,
The sun smiles at you,
Kills me with its heat,
Ironic?
I’ll smile at the moon,
Lurk in the shadows,
And let you know,
I was there,
Though you didn’t see me,
I had your back,
I held your hand,
Protected your heart,
And here i am,
You the heroine,
A match made,
Frosty.

The moon laughs at me,
The sun scorns me,
The wind bears me in the light,
The rain washes the tears away,
It’s cloudy,
Hazy,
I can’t see,
I only feel it,
The distance between us,
Hold on i still need you,
Can you hear me scream,
Babe, let’s go back,
Home,
Where we belong,
Where it all started,
In the dark,
You’ll be the light,

It’s all gone,
It never existed,
You couldn’t say it to my face,
Yet i had to,
You couldn’t plant it on my lips,
Yet over the line,
You was bold,
Stranger,
I am just too confused,
I saw yellow, orange,
I saw red, green,
I am lost,
What’s we chasing,
I ain’t in it for you,
I am in it for us,
It ain’t no favour,
It was a deal,
The ultimate sacrifice,
The plans,
The goals,
Can’t you see it,
Stuck on the orange,
I will still smile,

The end justifies the means,
By all means,
I go all rogue,
I get it when need be,
Just be slow to anger,
Be cool to avoid being led on,
We stuck on two worlds,
Yet you the only world am after,
It’s you i wanted,
What’s with the impatience,
Habits die hard,
It’s no excuse,
It’s a cruel reality,
May be i need more time,
You sure we can afford that?
To love and to hold,
To greatness,
In health,
In wealth,
Wasn’t that the Pledge,
To freedom,
Free,
Wild,
Unruly,
Isn’t that what we ever wanted,
It’s you, me against them,
You forsook the path,

Times been too jumbled on your end,
Too fast the river is,
You wanna dive,
You can’t even swim,
Lost in the clouds,
Hanging on the cliffs,
I stick to the lanes,
I followed the rules,
They were never my style,
Yes for you, i could bend them,
For you i had to reconsider,
We took one step forward,
A thousand to the back,
How does that sound to you,

By your side,
I talked myself hoarse,
My coarse, dry, scaly lips,
You did listen,
Can’t the roles reverse,
Don’t i need you,
As much as you need me,
Insanity,
Sanity,
Love,
Hatred,
Anger,
What are you playing at?
Are you gonna listen to them?
Are you gonna follow what you believe in?
You keep looking at what you had,
What they did to you,
It’s hard to let go,
I get that,
Can’t you let me be,
For a second may be,
Before you yell at me,
Before you judge me,
Before you tell me,

I still don’t get it,
Today you love me,
The other minute you fell too fast,
Didn’t i catch you?
Still amazes me that you still lost,
In between falling and hanging on,
You said no,
You said yes,
I was told to wait,
I could hold your hand,
I could find myself in the drain in the second,

He just couldn’t help but smile,
Make life simple as he could for them,
He could have been Jealous, possessive, angry,
For love he suppressed his emotions,
The tough times always call,
The answers that he still seeks.

Yes a trio with never ending drama,
The silence and the suspense,
The secrets within the secrets,
The night fife,
The auspicious vibe,
The gracious energy,
He was confused,
May be it was a mistake,
May be he had miscalculated his plans,
May be he was way too overconfident,
One was loving to all and crying herself to bed,
The other one was all sensitive to touch,
Yes they all could react to everyone except his charm,
A sad love story gone rogue,
The black love turned to anxiety,
Anxious to get answers,
Anxious to get the truth,
