Envy of Enzo's Villainous Self - Ricky Lee Roper

He performed under the moon

Stashed away in the dark of the streets

Like a begging rat dressed in maroon

He was aware that his mind was impaired

The wealthy men all laughed

And his pride was consumed

«Their arrogant laughter won’t last much longer

For I will hide in the shadows and deliver them unto death» — Enzo

I know this city cause i follow their tracks

I make my move when they’re alone and stab into their backs

Quickly dress into their clothes

Make my way into their homes

«Hello wife and kids, won’t you play a game with me?!»

— Enzo

He tucked the lifeless kids into bed

He dance with the mother and kissed her forehead

This was a life he always longed for

But his empty billfold made him want them dead

He gathered his things and snuck out through the window

He tossed the bodies into the sewers below

«Now you’re no better than me

A coward of a husband and a disgrace to your family.»

— Enzo

«I feel so complete

Another selfish man of greed

Has been taken off these streets

I can finally be left alone." - Enzo

A chatter of screams rang in his head

He wanted another dead

He spotted a man who resembled disgusting swine

Another kill just in time

But as the knife pierced the mans heart

An alarms began to start

He fled the scene and headed for home

But as he opened up the door

He was greeted by a fist and hit the floor

«All of the bodies have been found» -- Knights gaurdsman

The screams in head once more began to resound

He awoke in a room surrounded by bars

Left with minimal clothes

And a ring that once stole from one of his victims

A royal emblem of a snake

A treasure in mind

For it sparked a bit of life back into his eyes

The mirror outside his cell

A reflection of wealth

Captivated by his former self

Suddenly a light shined through

A child appeared in the room

He shouted «Follow me»

He quickly found his way outside of the rotting halls

The boy put a gun to Enzo’s face

«You have a fondness for snakes?»

— Relative of victim

Starring at the ring on his finger

Enzo thought of his reflection

He put the barrel in his mouth and the ring around the trigger

He quickly pulled it back and flesh covered the streets
