Was it really that hard?
Did you really need to go to those extremes?
[What decievery, Juliet.
Am I really that....
detestable?]
I defended you, Juliet.
[He killed your cousin.
Did you know that, Juliet?
Your cousin was angry, too.
Now Romeo murdered me.]
But life works in strange ways.
I loved you, Juliet.
[I did.
Really.
Truly.]
I see now...
Was it the thrill, Juliet?
The defiance?
The desire to prove something -
anything?
[Typical teens.]
But "true love" -
or forbidden love -
Makes for good stories.
[So I died -
Utterly,
Utterly
Alone.]
History morphs into unrecognizable
lies
(or truths?)
as well, Juliet.
... And so two starry eyed lovers
outwitted the interference
called Paris.
[I laugh.
Bitterly.]
It's tragic, isn't it?
[But what about me?
I loved you too, Juliet.
Did you know that?
Did you, Juliet?]
History calls it tragic.
[How I wish I could change it.
Maybe then I'd be worthy of your...
tainted love.]
Life calls it tragic.
[He murdered me, Juliet.
Do you care?
Do you, my sweet,
sweet Juliet?]
But me?
[I call my story...
tragic.]
Author notes
Ack. >.< That didn't really turn out how I wanted it to. 
Anyway, it's from Paris's POV. Incase people were confused.

beautiful
its really interesting how you look at the outsiders pov instead of romeo or juliet. very original and creative. the fresh outlook gives the story a sharp edge and makes juliet seem foolish and superficial.

Thanks for your comment... I know it's about one month late. Oh well.
I've never had much patience for Juliet, and I've always liked the outsider... Hehe. In other words, I Iike to tear apart classics

It's really good and I don't care what you say! So deal with it!!!! *laughs evilly*
I really like the end bit. The (whatcha-ma-callsists?) [ ] things were cool, they added a three demensional (can poems be 3D?) depth to the poem.
Good luck in the contest!
