A Romeo
A Romeo you say you want.
With eyes of quartz, and hair of blonde.
A lustrous show that mimics love,
To have and hold, to drape and flaunt.
But aren’t you just his next in line?
Cause for every one, there is a Rosaline….
That he left crying.
A Romeo you say you want.
Not quite all there, not too far gone.
A fantasy, a pro at con,
Betrothed to elegance and pomp.
So, you’re taken by his lack of subtlety,
Self centered crave and childish bravery…..
Below your balcony.
I could try to emulate that.
And I could drink the poison,
So you’d never bring me back.
A Romeo you say you need.
The antithesis of all that’s me.
But I will change your mind to believe,
That I can connect dichotomies.

Ah, the song with the awesome chorus line. I remember this from your Myspace page. I think I listened to it (just to hear the chorus) several times in a row a couple times. I think that the lyrics for the first three paragraphs (uh, stanzas?) are great! After that, I get a little confused. For instance, what does "self centered crave" mean? I also finally looked up "dichotomies" in the dictionary, so that makes sense now. And I'm an English teacher - ha! I'm putting up the definition in case others reading this were wondering. It makes sense now! Ha, ha - I'm so dumb. :P
dichotomy/-mies: Division into two, usually contradictory parts or categories
By the way, the first comment was written and deleted by me - I had forgotten to click on the option for responses to be sent to my e-mail. I'm watching you, Grantasia!!! >:)
