Can't accept

To insinuate that I don't care,

to paint me as a monster

who yearns to tear

us beyond repair

is ridiculous.

An insult to all we shared

as you stain and scar,

stitching in embroidered lies

of embedded contempt.

I balance on a needle point;

tiptoeing as I don't dare

to step out of line.

But I can't see your line.

The edges are curved

and the slippery, silver slope

is rusting; it's coarse

and it cuts deep.

Please.

Projecting away all

your failings isn't fair.

The elaborate villain costume

doesn't fit me.

Maybe it was designed for you to wear. 

Author's Note

I think we all know someone who finds nothing harder to say than 'sorry', and will do anything to avoid it.

I've often wondered what makes a person like this tick. They seem to get arrogant and immature in a way that benefits them. They come off as being immune to any blame on their part so an apology is out of the question. Villians? Possibly being a thoughtful and caring demeanor seems to have been stolen from the people that love or care about them.

Yes immature is exactly it. I would say that they do force other people to take on the villainous image as it's the going past the inability to forgive and actually making the other feel forced to apologize. If someone puts themselves up by putting someone else down I think that is evil.
