The suffocating heat,
is dwindling away
Diminished to three wicks,
growing dimmer by the day
We sit here, you and I,
around these candles three
With vital breathes drawn back,
avoiding destiny
These lungs they plead for air
Convulsions shake this frame
Distorted sight cascading,
to smite a dying flame
Your broken heart grows muffled
A beat devoid of sound
Constricted veins grow weary,
for the blood that can't be found
Your final breathe exhaled
It lingers in the air
It sweeps away the fire
and leaves a candle cold and bare
And for the light still burning,
these fingers are to blame
I'll lick them with tear blistered lips
She sees the world through angel eyes
Drenched in blood
Their crimson lies
Streaked with shame
Their conscience cries
Read the scarlet in the lines
A ruby tear strikes open flesh
Their blistered cheeks
The living dead
He's put to rest
In buried truth
A eulogy to murdered youth
You stalk the halls, you dominate
Hand in hand, a faulty friend
Drink the tears to a stricken face
Shine the darkness in the end
Angels cry to a devil's kiss
Graze the lips that speak of bliss
Friend of fiends and loving hate
Drink the tears that bleed your fate
The hallways scream
They shriek, they cry
These whitewashed walls conceal lost lives
The lies are spun
They turn on end
These marble floors lie on slain friends
The story hides
In shadowed past
Their vacant stares revealed at last
The truth, it runs
In crimson streams
Red thread to bind unraveled seams
The walls, they bleed
The halls, they flood
A river runs of murdered blood
The red, it soaks
The marble floor
Their whitewashed lies hold truth no more
The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, his wife,
Can penetrate and melt your heart like butter to a knife,
But all great writing's not complete without a little twist,
The irony is obvious but still is often missed.
Romeo and Juliet was biased and misleading,
It seems that Cupids arrow had been aimed at the wrong thing.
For Juliet was hit not in the heart but in the head,
She was a fool and should have chosen Count Paris instead.
Her love was nothing more than a physical attraction,
A hormonal imbalance, or chemical reaction.
Their glances met and they both knew it was love at first sight,
But love that's based on bone structure just doe
