By just the sight of you my poor heart hath been slain.
I feared this night's events by the dream I had of endless pain.
How a delicate creature could attract woes I but of my dreams ask.
She is the sun, her light drowns this darkness I feel in my heart.
Oh steal me from thy tender lips this brief kiss.
Allow me to hold thy pink cheeks and feel heavenly bliss.
Fear, though thou light has masked, I still feel it creep on my soul.
Alas, it is man's weakness that I ask thee to make me whole.
After thou is mine and I be thine let us make the vault our wedding bed.
Sweet, if this love demands a tragic end I would gladly let it lead to my death.
Hold my hand, love, and be Romeo's Juliet.

I tried to depict the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet as best I could. I hope y'all like this!!
