The Midnight Cry

She knew she couldn’t love him

She knew to let him go 

But loving him was easy 

Her darling Romeo 

With a voice so hauntingly beautiful 

She could have anyone with ease

But the price they pay so dreadful 

Those sailing the midnight seas 

Then one day it happened 

Her love, loved someone else. 

He even vowed to marry her 

No matter how her family felt. 

The pain she felt within her 

Touched her very soul 

The day he made his vows 

Her anger she could not control.

When she saw Juliette

For the very first time 

From deep within her brokenness 

She made her battlecry 

Juliette followed her 

And soon came Romeo 

Three souls died that day 

In pain in love and in sorrow.
