On this long night

While staring into dark light

I see a shadow, i hear a movement

Twisting lazily, i give into curiosity's torment

My eyes capture black hair

Fluidly hiding skin, porcelain fair

I catch a glimpse of vanity

Smoothly giving way for love's profanity

And on those curled lips

I see a smug smile

That could sink ships

But i sense it's revile

The breeze uncovers mystery's face

Hair dancing joyously, black fluid lace

Eyes the colour of the moon

Sparkling with intensity, a typhoon

Ignoring the impact

I try not to interact

My eyes fall on the stained wooden floor

Screaming in my head. Leave! i implore

I watch horrified as vicious lips kiss my hand

He spoke words, i couldn't quite understand

But before he left, one word pierced clearly...

Mercutio, the name left my lips gingerly

So sudenly i've fallen out of place

Relieved I've fallen out of grace

Sharply I've forgotten what to do

When i 've fallen in love with you
