It was a tale of love between two hearts...
His name Romeo,
Her name Juliet.
They were of star crossed lovers,
Their families hated each other.
They grew through the odds with one significant word,
Love.
Juliet faked her death,
Only problem is Romeo didn't know it.
He found her laying there and he drew the flask,
Which held his poison.
Touching it to his lips he swallowed,
Soon she comes through to see he's dead.
She takes the dagger and rams it deep,
Into her heart, It no longer beats.
It was a tale of love between two hearts,
Now it's just a book of love,
To remain those to stay sane,
And be careful of it's game!
