The Villain

I saw you with your red face

Your mask had slipped and fell away

Your hellish grin plastered on

For a fight I was not prepared to have

One step forward and two back

A crowded room of victims

And yet they look this way or that

Enabling your wicked impact

I screamed to no end

No rescue, only hushes and sighs

I ran into awaiting arms

Only for the villain to attack

Stabbed right in the back

I turn to plead for salvation

I was assured it would be true

So I left to a safe place

Only to be followed

And have the knife twisted

When my guard was down
