The Tale of Juliet

Friends forever...what we pledged... a pinkie promise combined with a tied knot to say we'd never part... Lovers for a few months...asked for her hand in marriage well was said, never an attempt but mutually she agreed, said yes with tearful, happy eyes To my demise, an argument came and surprised surprise, I was left with no one my life ripped from my chest while within seconds she quickly begged for someone else to take my place... Friends forever...lovers once... I love her despite what she put me through I despise her for everything she's put me through I despise her... I blamed myself for our falling apart and breaking off well I did until she came clean and placed the blame on her shoulders I denied every bit of it and try to reclaim the blame let the blame be my burden to carry while she flies off on angel wings but through the year that has passed I let her keep the blame, thrust it back in her face She infuriates me she tosses me aside everytime for a counterfeit romeo she claims each time after day one, she couldn't be any happier after day one, she's in love after day one, he's better than me... (sigh) better than me... Is it why you're back on your knees crying back to me saying you miss me, saying you love me... Juliet, Juliet... Juliet, how could you be blind to the fact that you're killing me every time you choose to speak to me Juliet, dont you know what you've done to me You keep coming back, coming back like there's something left of me to whisper you love me, whisper you miss me to blow me off the next day and not speak to me for another few months until you need someone to pick you up when you're down or advice on your traitorous relationship... Juliet, Juliet...how dare you... Juliet, Juliet...is everything we ever promised each other... just empty air, empty words... Juliet, Juliet... I'm not perfect but for you, I kept trying told you, you were my everything wanted a daughter to be as beautiful as you for I thought you to be her mother I swore to take a bullet for you cause I'd be there for you no matter what All that I asked for was for you to say you felt the same... but now it's come to this... If my eyes could speak, I don't know what they would say but all I can say is only things I've screamed inside my head so many times before I can only ask you to promise me, promise me to remember us for a fond memory for I will be fine without you... I will be fine without you...
