Modern Day Romeo and Juliet

He never uses those words
always Denies addiction
each day drowning in self pity
living life of affliction

so sweet and naive
her soul overwhelms him
but her face pale and weak
her body far to thin

it's so hard for him to love
he has to turn away
but her voice calls to him
pleading for him to stay

And she calls out to him...
"please don't leave me,
in this world all alone"
she says it so innocently
in such a pleading tone

But his heart broke down long ago
only emptiness lies inside
he could never love her
because that part of him died

Still, her voice enchants
makes him feel something new
makes something grow inside
not knowing what to do

each day goes by so quick
slowly these feelings begin to win
she wins over that empty part
winning over him

As she calls out....
"lease don't leave me,
in this world all alone"
she says it so innocently
in such a pleading tone

But his heart broke down long ago
only emptiness lies inside
he could never love her
because that part of him died

Powder on her face
cold and alone on the floor
He falls to his knees screaming
as soon as he walked through her door

the lines lay willing
so hard to deny
white dust disappears
with his defeated cry

the room begins spinning
the bitterness in his throat
he can't deny it this time
his heart she had broke

He lies there next to her
looks sadly at her face
knowing that deep down
this was his true place

his breathing slowly fades
his eyes begin to close
modern day Romeo and Juliet
