Bald-Faced Lie

passion to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet,

only that you didn't kill yourself

and killed me instead.

then, it all went in repeat

having to bring me back to life again,

in the lack of bullet guns,

i longed to die,

you cocked your gun

and shot me twice.

i crawled back at your feet,

begging to die again.

and i died again

by the smile you gave.

-n.d.
