Some more Romeo and Juliet!

Romeo
It was foolish of me to spend so much time
Grieving over Rosaline when I had not yet loved.
Jumping over the Capulet’s walls,
I knew not what lied ahead,
But my life was forever changed with love at first sight.
I knew as I kissed her and bid her farewell,
That Juliet held my heart in her hand.
She stood on the balcony that starry night,
And I listened as she spoke of her love for me.
I could not contain myself,
So I told her of my love as well.
We both knew that true love appeared,
So in secret we married, and held our love dear.
What saddens me is that which comes next,
My sword going through Tybalt’s chest.
Then Juliet’s heart was broke,
And I stood in Mantua with no one to hold.
When I heard the news of my lover’s death,
With all my might to Verona I fled.
Lying next to Juliet,
I pulled the poison from my coat,
Knowing I could not live without her.
I ended my life right beside her.



Juliet
They’d always wanted me with Paris,
But that was not what fate had intended.
On that night came young Romeo,
Into my life forever more.
As we danced and he kissed my lips,
I thought my life was forever bliss.
I stood on my balcony on that night,
Expressing all my hearts desires.
But what I did not know at first,
Was that Romeo was in a bush.
He heard every word I said,
Which startled and quite frightened me.
We talked and told each other of our love,
And I knew, even if a Montague,
I’d marry my dear Romeo.
The next morning seemed to long,
Waiting for the nurse who brought along,
The news that I’d be his sweet bride
And we’d be wed within the hour.
I was a happy wife until I discovered,
Tybalt’s blood was shed by my secret lover.
When I was ordered to marry Paris,
I knew that I’d find another way.
So to Friar Lawrence I went for help,
His potion worked extremely well
And for a while I said farewell.
Even though my cheeks were rosy red,
Everyone along with Romeo believed I was dead.
When I woke and found him without breath,
I knew I could never live,
Without Romeo who much did give.
