Tragic Juliet
These days have faded
Your nights are dead
Mush together
Inside her head
The act is so selfish
Her lips quiver in fear
She knows it’s over
She senses you’re there
She won’t blackmail you again
Her mental wounds you can’t mend.
Juliet however still reaches
For your hand.
She still loves you.
And wishes you’d understand
Why won’t you hold her anymore?
He screams still echo
As you slam the door.
She stands alone
It was your mistake too.
Yet you blame her.
Have you forgotten
That it was you?
You stole her innocence
You didn’t think twice
So why is it only
Her paying for the crime.
She kept your letters
She remembered those date’s
But you forget her
It’s her that you hate
She stands alone.
Skin pale
Knife in her hands
She gets on her knees
Ready to meet her fate.
You turn down the corridor
Run back to the door
Sweet Juliet
She’s lying dead on the floor.
