They say a bleeding heart conquers every crush
Then why does my blood spill out in a rush?
where for art thou my long lost juliet?
Are thou cold, still and unbreathing or better yet
Can thou feel the warmth of life?
Even if thou art still with heart so silent
I would love you like a fire so violent
Our timeless tale of Romeo and Juliet known so infamously
even if thou art a cold canvas of thy own beauty
Sleep my sweet Juliet
For soon i shall kiss thy frozen lips
And cease the pain that tears and rips
At my soul so cold and alone
I will breathe my last breath before I become stone
And find the end from the long journey from startHenceforth silencing my perpetually broken heart
Meaning: The narator Romeo knows juliet is dead and mourns her passing. In the poem, romeo still lives on after juliet dies. At first he denies her death when he asks "are thou cold, still and unbreathing or better yet can you feel the warmth of life?" But he knows deep in his heart she is dead and there is nothing to change it. so he says that with one kiss of her frozen lips shall not awaken her but kill him so he may join her in the afterlife.
