Juliet Always Dies First

Do you wonder
Do you ever wonder
Imagine what its like
All those cast off lives
What could have made a difference
So you could have kept them
I’m trying to keep this
And wanting to mean it
Looking over shoulders
At burnt bridges
And stopped pulses.
Would anyone else get this?
Nights of senseless entertainment
And waking up alone
To the sound of
Cars passing by
And a heart that’s trying to let go
Your brain knows the answer
Wish the rest could know it faster
The hornets in your stomach
Won’t let you forget
Fell in something
That felt like love
But it was just a sweet disaster
A distraction from the last one
Another pointless switch
And all those years we spent
Chasing accidents
Did they go away
Or does the script still read the same
Black and white
Longer than it should be
With words scribbled out
After the first scene
A poets daydream
Romeo’s sweet agony
And you’re left clutching paper
Nobodys watching anymore.
