Emo Suite

_Loveless_
I sit on the fence, watching the scene.
Two people talk, Romeo and Juliet.
Romeo, he lies, to himself and to her.
He laughs at a joke that only he hears.

I sit on the fence, with tears in my eyes.
I feel the cold hilt in my hand.
Juliet sleeps in peace, gently with her Romeo.
Romeo rests as well, but he is awake.

I sit on the fence, fire moves across the grass.
Blood touches flame, my power unleashed.
Juliet screams, her frail form falling to the ground.
Romeo is free, but only if he chooses…
What have I done?

_Dawning Point_
All that I’m made of is rage and love,
No compassion, no forgiveness, no regrets.
She cries her fake tears, he laughs his fake laughs,
And all the while a phantom watches.
I try so hard, but my words fall on deaf ears,
So it seems the world won’t know until he says it.
But when will that be? A year? Maybe ten?
I’m the only one who can save him.
She certainly doesn’t help him, crying empty tears.
And no one else helps, trying to soothe her.
They all try to restrain me, as if I’m the villain,
But they are the ones misguided.
No one ever really believed me, did they?
And a heart is a bad thing to simply humor.
They always run to her, take her side,
While I go cry in the corner.

_Aftermath_
It’s the aftermath of a desperate day,
A heartbreaking, dissonant, desperate day.
Everyone acts as if nothing happened,
Because they won’t admit that everything happened.
An aftermath with a billion loose strings,
Angry, dangling, strangling loose strings.
And left in the middle of all of this pain,
A miserable phantom, drowning in his pain.
