Olivia Capulet Poems

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
...
