M.S. Capulet

M.S. Capulet it's time to be honest with my self

time to wash my chest out

come clean about all I've really felt

This isn't perfect, isn't close,

but neither was the romance that Speare wrote

feel like a fairytale frog with words stuck in my throat

been trying to speak what i feel but so far only just croak

                    Let me be your romeo...

 

Dove, you remind me what it's like to fall in love

at midnight like a Montague

you make me want to

throw pebbles at your window

come over late on nights like this when i don't know

because you would't say and you fell asleep

(you thought this might just be a summer thing, some sort of fling)

But I'd do almost anything

to keep you Juliet

no regret, no joke

         I don't think there ever were words big enough for this hope. . .

 

And the two lovers they were starcrossed

just like my fingers when we started "us"

that night we stargazed but i guess I'm just

afraid we'll shatter into stardust

he climbed but

she would have jumped if he asked

that's us

we're trying to get over our past. . .

 

I'm not gonna pretend i don't think about the past

that i don't sometimes wish it, but that's just it

we've got this chance and i'm not gonna miss it

we've got this time and i'm not gonna twist it around

I've got an ugly purple scar across my heart, will you kiss it now?

It's been far too long trying to get this off my chest

but let's write our own tragedy,

       hell, romance is a mess, miss. . .

notice, beginning M.S. is not ms. It is my girlfriend's initials, but the similarity helped inspire how i ended the last stanza.
