– ROMEO AND JULIET // SHAKESPEARE
In Shakespeare’s time, it was believed that each sorrowful sigh consumed a drop of blood from the heart.
Tedious it shall be
for eternity
Don’t you hear the sky deny you child?
Give up the wait
for hope has teeth
like the bluntest knives.
Has your soul assumed the shade of the subtle winter dusk,
Has the color been stung off your blood?
Regrets, I portray
For your haunts I can’t help slay
While your path hardens further with ashen dews.
I hope that soon the rain will come
And drench you with its hues.
Beneath the tranquil lapis blue
Against the suburb sunset
I quietly watched a sudden placid smile
Form against the corner of your lips
And let it intrigue me.
Yeah you should run where you need to go
But when you come home, let me know.
- These Days // James Carter (ft. Zoe Maxwell)
If I get tired and say that I wanna change my mind,
pull me in a circle so that I can change it one more time.
It was already happening. Time, blunting the edges of those sharp memories.
