A poem I wrote using different references from Shakespeare's many works.
Burning your eyes on the flesh of another

How can you enjoy such an obvious torture

Your setting the scene for a beautiful letdown

Can I be the first, to cast the dirt on your grave



Romeo, O Romeo, where for art thou Romeo

Sleeping with snake on a Midsummers Night



And Romeo, O Romeo, Where for art thou Romeo

You've chosen your poision, a beautiful mistress

You've chosen your poison, chosen, chosen,



Romeo, O Romeo, where for art thou Romeo

You've chosen your poision, a beautiful mistress

Sleeping with snake on a Midsummers Night

You've chosen your poison, chosen, chosen



It was midnight under a fair summer sky

Juliet came home to find her romeo

Lying in their bed with the poison by his side

Scared to death and so confused

Hurt and scarred by the emotional abuse

She took a knife placed it on her breast

The cops say suicde, but i beg to differ

Cause it was your actions that guided it



Burning your eyes on the flesh of another

How can you enjoy such an obvious torture

Your setting the scene for a beautiful letdown

Can I be the first, to cast the dirt on your grave



Beware! The ides of march are upon you

Your conspiracy comes crashing to an end

Your surrounded now by freinds you thought

Would stick with you to the end

But as we circle you our words are poised as swords

And were cutting you deeper, and deeper, and deeper

You look to me, to the one you know you can always trust

But my eyes and words are more than enough to silence those thoughts

In the staggering silence you manage to gasp three little words



Et Tu Brute

Et Tu Brute

Et Tu Brute





Beware! The ides of march are upon you (etu brute! Et tu brute!)

Your conspiracy comes crashing to an end (etu brute! Et tu brute!)

And were cutting you deeper, and deeper, and deeper (etu brute! Et tu brute!)

Yes im cutting you deeper and deeper. (etu brute! Et tu brute!)



Burning your eyes on the flesh of another

How can you enjoy such an obvious torture

Your setting the scene for a beautiful letdown

Can I be the first, to cast the dirt on your grave



And so with no where to turn to and no where to go

You decided to join up with juliet

You ended it by praying to your temple with a colt 45

And I am glad you ended it that way
