City of stars
Never shine so brightly
For you make me believe
That I could dream
I am no Juliette
I have no Romeo
To mourn my loss
If I leave life and go
There is no Xander to my Kimberly
To carry me and save my life
No Clyde to my Bonnie
For better or for worse to stay by my side
I dare not dream of love
For they were proven wrong
When I was a child and kept dreaming
For a place where I could belong
I didn’t want a home of four walls and a roof
But of a person who gave me warmth in their heart
Someone to love through thick and thin
Till death do us apart
My vows of love left unspoken
With none to promise me a drop of affection
When I crave the vast ocean
My faith in love left here broken
I dreamed of love
One from the books
One destined from above
To express emotion with glances and looks
Will I ever find a warner
To love my broken Julliette
A lover to chase me across continents
Even when his memories I forget
Someone whose world would break
If God took me or the devil claimed me
Where is my Orpheus
Who would travel to the depths of Tartarus
To beg the god of death to return me
No I do not want a lover
Who will forget me and move on
I want someone to shake this earth
If a hair on my head were to be harmed
Where is the love of my life?
The other half to my broken soul
One who will consume my thoughts
And as an extension my being as a whole
