expert rites

i marvel at the wonder of it in our souless age

fast flow the tears upon the page

don't be alarmed i am her friend

will i be excused if i presume

it's more than disappointment that we share

you share the same sorry life

the families fight

that unhappy blade you both invite

this romantic ideal has a lonely appeal

i once loved someone the way that you do

but i had to let her go

i live with my regret

don't despair my would-be juliet
