MY JULIET

 all the hours now wasted

empty black holes tasted

didn't think I'd make it

even though I just take it

too much for one to fake

all surrounding walls shake

when I fall much further

from gravity's centre

where things don't get better

so I wrote this letter 

to make my feelings clear

as the passing of years

put aside all my fears

to bring you this fresh news

didn't want to leave you

hanging without a clue

as to what you should do

about the history

between the two of us

love still a mystery

I can't seem to work out


you are still my Juliet

on fire my heart you set

that's why I get so upset

every time I think of you

all the things that might have been

between the two of us that

never had a chance to be

oh Juliet come back to me


destroy the holy temple

nothing quite so gentle

like flooded sea vessels

caught in a losing battle

where one meets one's maker

who's power could break us

there's so much at stake here

not just words and fake tears

from movers and shakers

who's motives should wake us

to such tragic failures

like karma strikes traitors

no escape from it's grip

we all did what we did

when pressure blew our lids

and we closed our eye lids

to the truth before us

now settled in the dust

when we did what we did

we were only just kids



you are still my Juliet

on fire my heart you set

that's why I get so upset

every time I think of you

all the things that might have been

between the two of us that

never had a chance to be

oh Juliet come back to me


love is more than just a

four letter word for us

to fit a person to

it's what we choose to do

I just can't understand 

why you chose what you chose

into harm's way you ran

the emperor wears no clothes

twas all part of God's plan 

to divide and conquer

partially driven by

envy of yours truly

love is shown through actions

which speak louder than words

it's deeper than the ocean

the way it unfolds: absurd

one things still remains true

after all is said and done

strong is my love for you

don't you dare choose to run


you are still my Juliet

on fire my heart you set

that's why I get so upset

every time I think of you

all the things that might have been

between the two of us that

never had a chance to be

oh Juliet come back to me
