The Barrier Between Our Fire

Poem in Juliet's perspective from Romeo and Juliet
_________________________________________________

My heart hummed like a hummingbird when we first met
It burned to love like a lighted cigarette
How could you burn away
When our fire never even started to set

We could have been more than a lighted candle
Only if you hadn't slipped off the handle
Would we be a color other than gray
Nothing to pair with a lonely sandal

Such a feud that cut our love apart
The fence that kept you from my heart
If only we were allowed to stay
Together, then we never had to part
