Oh Juliet

You are the one and only for me
Thank you for creating my belated fantasy

So did you Sir Lancelot come
And whisk Juliet away
So it was a mixed up fairytale
Derived from you in modern day

What is the meaning and significance
Who is the real Juliet in your life
Perhaps a name from the past
That had cut you like a knife

Perhaps Julia was her real name
Or Another love that put you to shame

Maybe the real Juliet will appear
Maybe the real one is so very near

Perhaps she is right before your eyes
Living life with you and not in Juliet's disguise

But the Juliet you left behind
The one you thought you loved
Fabricated with your screwed-up mind

Juliet will never forget
The strongest love should could ever feel
And she thought that love was returned and real

And now she is as numb as can be
She cannot let anyone into her heart
She just fell completely apart

An incredible timeless love
The warmest feeling ever from way above
The brightest light from heaven with the strongest admiration

That would never change for her as time moves on
And now what you did made you worn and tired
It was nothing but someone from your past
Who you only used to intrigue and inspire

A few wonderful love songs that you put on a back shelf
Because of something you said that happened to yourself

She thought she was Juliet, but she was wrong
It turns out to be nothing but some removed love songs

You were never her Romeo anyway
As you quickly took your love away
Without even a blink or a question of why

You related to her in a special way
That no one could take your place anyday
And for eternity you would stay

The memory of pain will never fade
Those holiday bells will never ring the same
It seems it was only a meaningless head game

Will you repeat history with another
Juliet, Julie, or Julia
Who would you call your true love now

If she were the one you would see her pain
And offer a remedy instead of just burning rain

Life is so very short and
The old Juliet will one day die
And her heart will bleed forever

As you can not reveal what was real
Now or ever

Oh Staci I believe many of us can relate to this poem as once in our lifetime we were blind to what was and wasn't. thank you for sharing.

Yes ... the antithesis of love is the absence of love. The emotional content and the threads of frustration, in this, play on the heart like a brisk wind over a cactus. A very heart open write.
Blessings ...

Sometimes it is so very hard to see what is right in front of your eyes or realize the pain that was caused.
Modern day Romeo's and Juliet's open your eyes before you loose a wonderful love.
