Heartbeat thudding in my chest and I can't think,
My eyes sizing you up and I can't blink,
You look like the devil as you down another drink,
One smirk and my lung twists like a cufflink,
You sent a hurricane of thoughts through my mind,
You were a bright light and I was blind,
One second I was trying to get the moment defined,
The next our souls were internally intertwined,
You're like chemicals in my blood and every vein,
I'm trying to breathe but my lung is held in chain,
You're a delicate drug that numbs my pain,
I hope my infatuation with you is not in vain,
We're not who we were anymore,
Emotions and stolen moments on the floor,
Star crossed lovers behind a white oak door,
An obvious attraction you cannot ignore,
I know my heart I can never trust,
For it can be blinded by unquenchable lust,
But thoughts and logic are no longer a must,
And all our irrational fears just turn to dust,
To love forever, you solemnly swore,
Even as our families were at war,
Through the blood and through the gore,
Our souls would unite and soar forevermore,
Father, why does our love have to end?
I fear a broken heart you can never mend,
But an old quarrel you can surely bend,
You can turn your enemy into a friend,
The epic story of Romeo and Juliet,
Cannot end because of a fight for land or a debt,
For this is a tale you can never forget,
A tale of love, hurt and a family's regret,
..
What if the feud was never there,
And their families did not care,
Juliet would have chosen a dress to wear,
And married Romeo under the sun's glare,
..
