Already found her Romeo - inspired by my observations of a close friend

She stands at the balcony calling his name

Without sounds she wills me forward

And for a moment I’m feeling so sane

The silence is such a flawed password

I think I cracked it but she needs him

Leaves me so weak and confused

She’s already taken and it would be a sin

To pursue but love has left me bemused

I’m feeling used but I keep her company

She needs me for laughs but him for sleep

I’m left in sorrow my soul in a cemetery

others have their opinions I see them peep

I hear them talk and speak of ‘why does he

Seek Juliet when she has already found

Her Romeo?’ and I feel death to a part of me

It’s like she has me in her grip I’m spellbound  

I wish I could walk away but I hold on

In the hope that she leaves him tomorrow

I feel sadness and sorrow as I keep on

Living on emotions that I’ve borrowed

I see pictures of you both and I never cry

Everything stays bottles up inside so you can stay

And visit to show me affection with your eyes

I’ll compromise with your false public displays

…that’s all I need….
