Romeo’s Drowning
Glistening moonlight casts a grey veil,
shining down on the boy afloat in a river.
Alone with thoughts, voices that aren’t his.
They cannot give you what you seek
The good ones are gone,
The bad ones are everywhere.
Meaningful devotion,
starving for connection.
Denied entry at hearts red gates
I’ve watched you from your cowardly eyes.
Struggling to find her,
while the world tries to make you choose.
Love is a weakness,
it’s choking you.
Sink into the darkness.
