Plague O' Both Your Houses

There's my muse so fickle and fleeting
Coincidence or fate this meeting?
To both of you who speared my heart
To cherub too who shot the dart

I say begone, from heart and dreams
I've wasted far too many reams
Of paper, oh and tears I've shed
And many night wished I was dead

Fair faces upturned to my eyes
How cleverly you did disguise
The plague of deceit your lies could bring
Festering wounds under engagement ring

I hear stage left is oily mire
And stage right is ablaze with fire
Center stage has players too
But we just don't have room for you

Rats bring plagues o' both your houses
Denial makes them little mouses
Follow piper to river and scream
I'm working on another dream
