Boohoo

The tender caress of her being
Enter Romeo
It counts for nothing
Enter Juliet

Shakespearian tragedy
Romance of the ages
Die a lot dialogue
on unstable stages
Do you not ever wonder
why we’re trapped in these cages
when a man who loved dick jokes
wrote ‘true love’ on torn pages

Made his own fucking language
just cause he could
Made Portia and Rosalind
cross dress in the woods
So hide your true nature
just cause you should
and remind yourself daily
of the stage they all stood

We kind of understand,
they weren’t allowed to fall in love
But why cry for him and her
when you call Viola rough
Juliet was 13
yet that was good enough?
Blind to the hypocrisy
of calling your son a puff

I want to stop seeing on the news
they weren’t allowed to fall in love

Only, Romeo and Juliet
did it on their own
So desperate for each other
More than life they would have thrown
So why weep for them
but not the women that were stoned?
Holding hands in quiet remembrance
of eternity alone

I don’t want another tragedy
in real life or on stage
Applause for the actors,
boos for the rage
Do you not ever wonder
why we’re trapped in this cage?
When you only cry for true love
when it’s fucking straight.

Don’t read outside the lines
Don’t read outside the lines
May God forgive your crimes
Being Roman Catholic was illegal.
