My Romeo
No, I don’t think you’re crazy A little eccentric, maybe But I’ve always loved you like that Don’t I always have your back? I was never the one to judge you Instead I’ve always tried to nudge you In becoming of what you dreamed Of a life so great that you have deemed To be married at an age not too old To have kids before you reached 40 years old To be surrounded by friends who truly accept you To be surrounded by family who won’t step on you You’re my Romeo and I’m your Juliet We’ve wandered together. The journey’s not over yet. There has never been a day that has gone by That I’ve stopped loving you even if I try But I don’t want to try nor leave your side I want to support you in anything just like a bride. So what that people has called you out of your name They are hurtful words that you shouldn’t claim Being smart is a blessing. Treat it not like a curse But they treated you so bad your emotions just burst I know it was hard to take the teasing Even from girls who need bad boys for pleasing Being nice is soft and being a gentleman is weak They would've made you miserable every day of the week. Society’s real hard on you for just being you For being so kind and even so generous too Then you began to shut the world out They say you have issues but you didn’t even pout You’re my Romeo and I’m your Juliet. I’ll travel with you. Our world didn’t end just yet. Your friends weren’t really exactly the best But you couldn’t think of them as anything less Because they were the kind of people you’d trust Y’all friendship, you thought, was very robust You have done everything in your power To make sure your friends weren’t devoured They repaid you with such little gratitude But later would give you so much of their attitude You thought that forever they’d be your ride-or-die boys Until you realized that they were playing you like a toy I became your best friend and picked up their slack I didn’t want the hurt in your heart highly stacked You’re my Romeo and I’m your Juliet. I’ll stand by your side. We’re not done just yet. Before anything else family came first They’re the bank, the counselor, and even the nurse That’s what you went by. That’s what you believed. Sadly to say that you were greatly deceived. If they needed you for anything you were there You had unlimited love and kindness to spare They used that against you knowing the result They’d made you feel guilty and threw in some insults Your heart and mind would be twisted up in pain Cause you couldn’t fathom why they fed off of your pain If only I had known right from the very start I could’ve helped you much better with your bleeding heart You’re my Romeo and I’m your Juliet. I’ll never leave your side. We’re not close just yet. All the pain and anguish that you’re going through You’d think if your life was a color, it’d be blue You often wonder why God is just sitting Knowing your problems as if His, on you, quitting Or maybe He just doesn’t even care Even though you declared a dangerous dare That one day you’ll talk to Him face to face If you’re prayers go unanswered, just in case “Why didn’t You save me from the hurt? Am I so unworthy that I’m lower than dirt?" I guess only the chosen ones get a better life The called will just have to be brave to not lean on the knife You’re my Romeo and I’m your Juliet. We’re so very close. Does He not hear us yet? On the dock, as the car is picking up speed We’re wondering if we’re doing an unforgiveable deed Soothing music plays as we flew into the air Before the car dives, we wonder if He’ll show that He cares We kissed passionately knowing it’d be our last We held each other’s hands while the radio played jazz The freezing water flushed in and suffocated us We took it all in so lightly because it was more than a must Grief-stricken Romeo drank poison to follow his Juliet She took a dagger to the heart and then went quiet Whether in life or in death they’d forever be together They couldn’t dream of being apart that’s how much they loved each other You’re my Romeo and I’m your Juliet. I wonder if God’ll answer our prayers yet.
