Romeo and Juliet

Her whisper soft and tender

Voice calling out to him

Once bright eyes are fading ember

Her figure now a subtle blur


Her arm outstretched to reach him

As he nears the brightest light

Her world has only grown dim

And she's lost her only sight


She shuts out the world and lets out a cry

He's slowly embracing the new life

She wishes that he never did die

He wants to go back to his lovely wife


She stresses over the permanent loss

She is nothing without his presence

He has grown as dull as moonlit moss

He left in the middle of a breath, the middle of a sentence


She drops a silent tear

And flashes an empty smile

He watches her in fear

Her lips yearn to touch the wretched vial


Alas! Alas! She has found a cure

She grabs her beloved's dagger

And pierces her flesh that was so pure

She draws a final breath with a stagger


And finally reunited with her one true love

They rejoice for their victory in the skies above
