Romeo and Juliet

Don’t want you to come around
don’t want to hear your voice.
These things are what I say out loud
but different from my thoughts


The Sun can’t live
without the Moon
The Moon, without the Stars
Such the life is ours
The Sun dies everyday
So that the Moon can live
The Moon in turn
will do the same
the life of Sun, to give


Don’t want my touch
Can’t stand my kiss
I see it in your eyes
The way you force yourself like this
The pain you can’t disguise


Forbidden love was never grand,
romantic, neither fun
you’re forced to lie
to push it down
to tell them no
to say goodbye
although what’s done is done


The Sun can’t live without the Moon
The Moon, without the Stars
Such a life is ours
The Sun dies everyday
so that the Moon can live
The Moon in turn
will do the same
The life of Sun to give


I do not want you here
You simply cannot stay
Please darling raise your voice
refuse to go away


Romeo and Juliet
how far will you go with this?
your back and forth
your broken lies
the hollowness that’s in your eyes


your parents love
your families trust
think they know what’s best
There comes a time for all of us
we put that to the test


Romeo and Juliet
How far will you go?
you’re wasting time
you’re breaking hearts
you’re slowly being torn apart


you’re going to end in disaster
if you don’t make up your mind
Romeo and Juliet
you’re running out of time


Romeo and Juliet,

how bad will you let this get?

forbidden love and being forced to lie to someone when all you want to do is run away with them

A wonderful reflection poem on Romeo and Juliet that reflects the modern day teenager dealing with the issue of forbidden love.
