Star-crossed Lovers
Stuck in the verge of fear
panicked at the sight of death
shrieking screams fills the air
with no one in sight to hear
this water so fierce and deadly
embrace my almost lifeless body
searching for air
for land
for peace
for something to hold
and yet still I drifted deep below
drifted, drifted, unconsciously
drifted, drifted without hope.
This dream so strong and fearful
helped me find my fearless, Romeo
hearing his voice through the walls of death
Have awoken me from my slumber
then the waves shot me on the shore
where I lay in the arms of my love.
Even when they can't agree
"oh, how I wish they would let us be"
The colors of our skins don't matter much to me.
Our names were forged by fire
Carved in an eternal flame.
Destined to be like Shakespeare's young lovers.
