unrequited love (this is a story about overcoming my fear of heights)

Shakespeare's Romeo

unrequited love 

the heart of the 

modern romantic

allowing myself to fall

(I don't believe in love

anymore)

this is a story 

about overcoming 

my fear of heights

dog-eared notebooks

more than anything

I am a writer

although, I can't 

articulate myself 

not every well

the feeling of falling

from high up

from the heavens 

with celestials 

cotton-bud wings

summer-light halos

not having the courage

to reach out

to touch

Dear, Romeo

what has become of us?
