Romeo and Juliet Lives
Doth not thy lover sing thee songs of love
Retreive thy dagger from my wounded heart
Or thrust it deeper with a mortal shove
Cut free this ache that tears my soul apart
Blind these eyes so they may not see your face
Bind my feet for I can not trace your path
Thy voice is equal to an angels grace
Take back this pain that cuts my heart in half
Lead me not to temptation's lonely door
My soul cries out why can I not repent
This dreadful place my heart cannot ignore
Nor will pain from this broken heart relent
Am I not your Romeo like before?
My Juliet why hath you turned away?
On my knees I beseech you on the floor
I beg of you please tell me what to say
'Tis I who must now turn and walk away
If you truly have no love left to give
I wonder what Shakespeare would have to say
If he could see that both of us could live
