Romeo and Juliet

Dear Juliet, I stare down at thee,
I wonder why this must be.
I take this vile poison in one sip,
But there is one last thing I desire, your lips.
I kiss the warm lips and feel you stir,
My senses are unsure and leave such a blur.
You awaken as I begin to drink my last drink,
And in this moment I was brought to the brink.
I lay down and you ask me why,
But I can’t say anything because I’m so shy.
I close my eyes and you begin to cry,
I open them again and say I’m sorry.
We lay there for hours, till our parents arrive,
And they see us together and alive.
Words seem to escape everyone,
So lets just leave them be and say done.
We are together forever,
And not the star-crossed lovers.
Tis not the day, with which we died,
But the one with which Shakespeare lied.
Here stand we together,
Not dead, but forever.
