Based around the idea of putting Romeo and Juliet on at a theatre. Any feedback would be great. Thanks.
(V1)
The wings are alive with chatter,
The buzz is flowing through the crowd,
Tonight’s the night of the love story,
The dressing rooms silent,
Do not disturb sign is warning us all,
The leads playing the lead in her own story,

I’ll rewrite the scene,
Juliet’s getting on my nerves,
And this over dramatic actress,
Is about to be killed off now,
I’ll rewrite the scene,
Hope Romeo doesn’t mind,
He’s not dying this time,
Juliet’s going to take her last bow now,
(V2)
The wings are alive with whispers,
As she walks down to smile at me,
Oh my, that was almost sincere,
The stage is echoing silence,
Tension almost visible as we,
All wait for Juliet to disappear,

For a woman taught to be anything,
She’s so hated for what she is,
For a woman taught to be something,
She made the wrong decision,
And she’s not his tonight,
Romeo, keep Juliet out of the light,
