#juliette
In the swirling rivers of forgotten times Ancestors built a grave from above For promises made on their long-ago crimes I lost my once-and-only love All their past mistakes and their pacts running deep Are drowning in the murky flood Treaties compiled in oaths they could not keep Are passed down in our family blood Her marble lips smile in the icy stone vault Her love buried by old vows of hate But her silent suicide wasn’t our fault Her ****** caused by forefathered fate They spiteful told me her hands never to hold Their feuding sounds her funeral bell Their path has decreed her white face should be cold So I choose to die here as well

Romeo
Maybe read the Author Note first \\ I won’t be your Romeo, in fact I refuse to be. I’m not what's best for you, I’m not what's best for me. // I refuse to be your princess, because even I can see you’re not what's best for you, you're not what's be for me. \\ You won't end up my Juliette I don't want you to I don’t want a perfect girl You’re just right being you. // I don't want a knight in shining armour; I can wield a sword on my own. I'm not looking for love, you're just better than being alone \\ I won’t be your king, // I can’t be your queen. \\// But together... \\ // You will never be my Romeo. At least we'll be something.

Starcrossed
The silver moon sighs, Softly darkening skies, Trapped in her crystal net; The sun parades on With a sapphire yawn, Chasing his sweet Juliette

Love like day and night
Some say it's only love if it never goes away, Some say love changes by the hour, by the day. Some say love's only real if it's shared, Some say unrequited love is everywhere. You all don't know what's fake and what's real. You all don't know how Romeo and Juliet feel. It is time for the self righteous bullcrap to be over. Let's put love back in the hands of the lover.

If That's Not Love Then I Don't Know What Love Is
If love is tied to the stars, and to fate, to what seems to be just a fleeting dream- Perhaps star crossed or maybe all is lost, Will we know before the end of the scene? Are there hints? If so, what do they mean? What exactly, do all of these signs foretell? Is there a theme amongst the clues, between Half-hearted attempts at wishing well? But on these things, we do not dwell- Passions play should be a victimless crime. No heaven, nor hell, nor friar, nor spell, Could part us before our appointed time! Can we live, with the world as our rhyme, And as poets, play our songs to the part? Would you be mine if I could divine the secret melodies that lay in your heart? So this I swear, before God, in this state- To love you, as if this were our final scene. And then forevermore, our love will endure As an endless dream within our dreams.
