Locked away in another girl's heart,
Sealed behind thick bars of brass.
Your face illuminated by a single candle.
Your hands locked by golden shackles.
Candle lifted higher,
Show thy face.
Art thou still alive?
Immediate passion hidden in the shadows.
Our lips meeting in locked fire,
Destined to die for traitorous reasons.
The ice inside her pushing me away,
Like cold winds so strong.
I return for you,
Two hands linked together like a chain.
Never break us apart,
Juliet.
I have you Romeo,
O' forbidden Romeo.
The contrast of my warmth and her ice,
Can't you love both of us?
Your heart is so large,
Why cause such conflict?
I want your love,
Juliet wants your love.
My forbidden Romeo,
Kiss me in the dark 'neath the balcony.
Locked together in love's long embrace.
