Ophelia is Juliet

Ophelia is Juliet
but her love is lost in madness
while her father bleeds away

Ophelia is Juliet
but her brother breaks life
holds vengeance close to heart

Ophelia is Juliet
alone with the water lilies
cold as nether stone

Sisters without solace
lost ladies left longing
while fire drove their men away

Ophelia is Juliet
whose life doomed Dane does slay
sure as blades through curtains
call priests to extreme unction
call close knit bonded friends to pray

Ophelia is Juliet
without the sunrise
