I'm Not Juliet

I love you to the point where I'm aching,
breaking apart and breaking down,
one cliche fighting with another
until I'm apart, and you're asunder--
and all I want is to hear your voice
telling me it's alright.

But we're one letter past another,
sentences made of bright crimson
bedtime stories, tales told in the dark,
but you're not prince charming
and I'm not Juliet--
and I don't know where this goes,
and where it went,
and if I should dare to follow.
