Olivia Capulet

There are one thousand oceans
And each one is dry
Lurking at the bottom of this
Merciless divide
...

Malignant demon send me mercy
Teach me to be strong
I can’t smile through a broken heart
Pretending I belong
...

Transparent, with no finger tips,
Man made you
Just to be
Dependent.
...

I love life like a distraction
Heartache in the rain
Snow may fall
And they may call
...

Little miss muffet,
Frozen in habit
Alone on your throne
Like a lost little rabbit
...

In blinded words
I spoke your name
Just like an
Abandoned child.
...

I can’t sleep
My chest’s heaving
How can I speak?
I’m scared of breathing
...

Weeping willow wilting
Don’t you cry a tear for me
Enraptured by your beauty
Mystified by misery
...

I still remember that picture that you drew
Brightly coloured people
People that you knew
And I remember the day that you drew me
...

I love you like stiletto heels
Dancing in the snow
You love me like her pear dropp smile
And think that I don’t know
...

The looking glass is shattered
Ill-fated traitor to its cause
I stand alone reflected
A single shard forlorn
...

Come into my prison
And I dare you to escape
In these walls of beaten marble
Every failing is the same
...

There were days of autumn winds
Snow when it was March
Though I remember who we were
I’m not sure who we are
...

Can’t cry for fear of laughing
As I whisper out for you
There’s no one here to whisper back
My soul is torn in two
...

You see her

A canvas blank as midnight
Not so much as a smile
...

I wish I was dreaming
And none of this was real
Have I fallen into nightmare?
Why do I feel
...

I look in the mirror
And you are missing
I knew you’d never last
But there is something
...

You laid your head upon my pillow
I stroked my fingers through your hair
You were dream bound, I was lovelorn
And we were not really there
...

Penny for my thoughts today
As they fall inside my head
I paint my canvas black on blue
And write them all instead
...

This rain is my salvation
I will catch it as it falls
Cradled in my hands
Silver shining as I call
...
