“Romeo Loved Juliet” — my first fully finished original song.
Written and composed by me.
This is just a rough phone recording, but it’s the first time I’ve made it all the way through from memory. The story comes from a place of experience, though the characters and details have taken on a life of their own.
I’d love your feedback:
* What line stood out to you?
* What did you think the song was about?
* What emotions did it bring up?

But of course it’s Her way of life
She just crossed the state line for that f’n knife
Collecting Aflac like they were only worth a dime
Blowing your candles out — it happened three times
Best mom in the world what a joke
With that line even the devil was provoked
Motive was always — her image in others minds
Happy Birthday b*tch, here’s your mother f’n rhyme

Oh Opuntia - would a wolf plant you at the cities edge?
Your womb “teeming” from divinities bed?
Adopted not in Locrus’s head!
For a daughter born to the barrenless?
Rather you be carried off with love instead!
The prickly pear takes its name from Opus, the ancient Greek city founded through divine encounter — a king without an heir, a wife carried off by Zeus, and a lineage born from love and loss.
All of it lives in the question the poem cannot stop asking — whether to be returned to barrenness is fate, or whether to be carried off with love is the truer, more difficult grace.
