Romeo & Juliet

Romeo & Juliet

A tear crawls down her cheek
She wipes it away
Trying to hide her emotions
From anyone who comes along
Bottling everything inside
Locking everyone out
Even herself

She has no one to hold
No one to hold her
Before she had one person
To help her through anything
And everything
Now that person is gone
Without so much as a goodbye letter
Or apology

He left her with nothing
She loved him with all her heart
Told him everything she had to tell
There was nothing that could seperate them
Except for one thing

When he looked at her
She went weak at the knees
And she couldnt help but smile at him
When he touched her
She felt her heart melt inside of her
Her hand would reach for his
When he told her about his day
She would intently listen
Trying to consentrate on the conversation, and not his face

She awoke to her phone ringing
She thought it was him
Quickly she grabbed it
Excitedly pressing the "talk" button
A few moments later
The phone she thought she wouldnt want to put down
Fell from her hands
She did not move
Her mouth wide open

The service was unbearable
She couldn't take it
She ran until forever it seemed
And didn't stop until she made it safely home
She turned on the CD with their song on it
She took off her hideous black dress and put on his jersey
Laying on the bed she wondered why
Why would he do this?
How could he do this?

He left her alone in the world
Now she has no one
She cannot bear it
So she takes her life as well

A 21st Century
Romeo & Juliet.
