My Love, My Life, My Juliet
It hurts that you are gone, no longer with me
Your smiling, beautiful face I wish I could see
A thousand swords pierce my heart
Every time I think of us being apart
My love, my life, my Juliet
I am forever filled with regret
The choice between love and war
I now thrive for the other more
For when I heard that the hellish fire danced down your throat
My heart sank, like a destroyed wrought-iron boat
It was a reminder of when,
You proved your love to me again and again
Your braveness was never one to be measured
These good qualities of yours I have always treasured
For you slashed your side, for my trust
But I left you alone, in the dust
My love, my life, my Juliet
You left me, and yet
I am happy, for you are like a caged bird, now free
From all your thoughts of grief and worry caused by me
For even if you are not in my arms
You will be in my heart, safe from harm
Watching me for above
I will never forget you, my love
For not even death can make my memories disappear
They will always remain in my heart, so very dear
You will always be the sunshine of my love, my brightest light
My Juliet, my love shines so bright
Farewell my dear
I hope you can hear
My words of love and woe
For you will always be my love, my life, my Juliet and I was your Romeo.
