My Romeo

I loved him I did

But when I met you it changed

You were perfect

Everything I wanted

You were my handsome Romeo

I didn’t want to give up my fairytale dreams

To slip up the opportunity

Wasn’t going to slide with me

I fought hard but never enough

I tried to keep myself in check

Tried so hard to stay in love with him

Denial became my best friend

That kept me from caving in

Until one question nearly broke my heart

Fear filled my heart, my lungs

The answer couldn’t come out

So simple was this question

All you wanted was to hear about him

And how on earth he got me

Yet all the answers came so blank replaced by fear

Fear that you would leave if I just spoke his name

Tears they came as denial left me

I had noticed something I wish I hadn’t

I was out of love with him

And fell right in love with you, my Romeo

So what I did was stupid

I thought I could give it one last shot

To pretend I still loved him

I laughed and called you my friend

I shrugged away your compliments

Yet still I searched for your face

At every place I entered

Then that one move you did made me cave in

The love letter I found waiting for me

My lips they smiled as my eyes wondered on the page

At the end I couldn’t look away and

Had that stupid smiled plastered to my face

And read over it again

And that’s where I caved in

I will admit I cried a lot

The night I broke his heart

I never wanted to hurt him

I cared for him so

But I just couldn’t let go

Of my Romeo

Beautiful! A little long for my taste, but I still like it. A really sad story, too. But, you need to work on the punctuation. A couple of commas, semi colons, and periods would make it perfect! But otherwise, great job. Adding this to my library. :)
