Juliet's Song

'if i die young, bury me in satin

lay me down on a bed of roses'


pretty girl, on your knees,

why do you cry so?

with no-one to listen to your silent pleas

or to watch your crystal tears flow?

:.:

pretty girl with the broken heart,

how, oh how, does it feel?

to gaze at the face of the man you love

and see him lifeless at your heel?

:.:

pretty girl with the clouded mind,

what, oh what, will you do?

now that you're all alone in this world

left to mourn and rue?

:.:

pretty girl with the silver knife,

why do you smile in your sorrow?

as you plunge the blade into your heart

and fall from Cupid's arrow?

:.:

fallen girl with the lifeless eyes,

at last, you are at peace

for even death shall not do you part

when you act on love's caprice.


I have, for a fact, never actually read or watched Romeo and Juliet. So, if I got any details wrong, please excuse me.
