Villain Era

When it comes to a relationship

I'm no longer willing

they say if you live long enough

you become the villain

and that's who I am now

when it comes to commitment

I'm a cynic

I'm done

wasting time with hopes and wishes

I've come to be realistic

that all that disney love they filled

our minds with

that convinced us

that with the right one

it'd be effortless

and serendipitous

was bullshit

happy endings are fictitious

love isn't like that

it's traumatic

and vicious

toxic and acidic

it'll shatter you into a million pieces

love is suffering

and most often

all for nothing

or at least that's been my experience

hence me being villainous

that rather have loved and lost perspective

was said by someone innocent

or perhaps ignorant

but no one would have ever

rather lost something that became

a piece of them
