Mercutio from Fossils by EmpathP

I’ve seen this happen before
Know every note in the score
Turn of a page and his heart’s not here anymore

A smile while taking a bow
Watch as the curtain goes down
An exit’s all I can give him now

Though I’ve spoken every line
Kept the pace in every rhyme
As the second act unwinds
Guess the parts not meant for me this time


So, tonight I’ll pray
When we close our eyes
I’ll be in his dreams
And he’ll be in mine
Soon the light will break
Then he’ll realize
It was just a dream
And so was I…


I take the judgement with grace
An actor finding his place
Turn of a page, see how quickly I am replaced

A role meant to entertain
Tiny red drops leave a stain
Cover it up to disguise the pain

Since we’ve spoken every line
Kept the pace in every rhyme
Let the second act unwind
For a part not meant for me this time
