Behind every Villain

Behind every villain there is pain,

A wound that festers deep within,

A heart that's broken and full of disdain,

A soul consumed by anger and sin.

Behind every villain there is fear,

A terror that grips them tight,

A desperate need to always appear,

As the one who's in the right.

Behind every villain there is hurt,

A past that they cannot forget,

A life that's been filled with dirt,

And memories they wish to reset.

Behind every villain there is sorrow,

A sadness that weighs heavy on their chest,

A loneliness they cannot borrow,

A longing for peace and rest.

Behind every villain there is love,

A love that's been twisted and warped,

A love that's flown away like a dove,

Leaving them feeling robbed and torched.

Behind every villain there is a story,

A tale that's waiting to be told,

Of how they fell from grace and glory,

And how their heart grew cold.
