Romeo & Juliette: The Misinterpretation of Russian Roulette

By Sealed Identity

I speak the truth for miles and miles,
but you won't look beyond your past.
I lie to keep your smile bright and,
you couldn't fall faster for that.

So what is it that you want from me?
I write volumes you won't read,

You can see
better days are ahead,
But you won't let go
of your selfishness.

you won't let me get past the trap you set
to keep me stranded and wondering,
Will this girl ever take off her bullet proof vest
and give me a shot?

It didn't take long for you
to take off your chastity belt, but,
it will take forever and a day
to get inside your chest.

Once you looked inside my mind
you saw,
I was crazier than
I said (but only for you).
I am a faithful man,
with morals.

If I can't have you,
than I’m better off dead,
Then I can watch over you all the time.
See that princess' tell fairytale lies.

You leave me no choice,
I’m better off dead.
I'm better off like you.

    "I'm better off like you" Striking ending. I wonder why we all write about people who don't deserve to be written about. Good write, Sealed.
