This Romeo is bleeding
Lying here fast awake.
Juliets long gone,
Your suicide didn't take.
Now youth has passed
You by.
No longer a young
Girl's dream.
Not a tragic love story.
Just a tragedy in life,
it now seems.

So obviously this was inspired by the Bonjovi song Always.
It seems I'm inspired by music quite often, that opening line has been in the back of my mind since I first heard it in 1994. LOL
So if music is poetry, which I believe it is, then is a poem inspired by a song
an act of plagiarism? Or is it just a variation of inspiration on a theme???
