Romeo's last Desire
Written by: reaptheagony
*COMPLETELY REVISITED EXCEPT FOR VERSE 1*
drawing lots of Shakespeare and Sophocles references along with Anne Rice
My Chemical Romance style


If I could be your Romeo again
I would march through the Capulet’s Ball
Looking for my Juliet
She’s the angel
with the laced up wings and wearing my heart like a halo
I’m sorry Circe and Calypso seduced me
My fair lady, I promise I will never hurt you
I would recuse you from Scylla and Charabdis
I’m so empty without you here
It feels so wrong living this life without you my darling dear

I’ll save you from the pain and we can dance in the rain
You look perfect to me through beauty’s humble stain
Kiss you...on the hand my lady...like you’re royalty
The sky is cloudy outside but it’s pretty in your eyes
Chaotic Beauty has become the way I live this life
Just like Beautiful Chaos stains this knife
...Dig My Grave In Fair Verona...

You gotta hide me from the light, Keep me un-dead before her vampyre Romeo die
Drive that stake through my vampyric heart again, because all we do is sin
I gotta get inside the sun and pass right through, then cut out my heart that cares for you
But would I cry for you? I guess I would because I’ve already died from your virtue

I’ll promise you one thing, I’ll be in two pieces when this is over
I may not be sober yet I can still fly
Spread my wings and bid the Capulets goodbye
I thought I saw you looking through the sky, but that’s just the whiplash in my eyes
You see these cuts, angel? Well I’ll still pick the scabs
To bring back the happiest memories I’ve ever had
Romeo is dying for Juliet and Helena is looking on, this is love gone so wrong
When every other line is fatal on interpretation in this song

So give me one more chance, teach me how to do that dance I know you love
When I die you might just be the one I’m thinking of
but this dagger loves me so gently with a line of cuts

Would you visit the Montague house for me, cut your wrists with wine and let it bleed
Like I left Rosalyn in the rosary, I’d change the world for you baby and every myself
I already have, and we’re as alive as we’ll ever be

To fly once more as my own Vampyre...
Romeo’s last desire...
